recently- by their family. Pfc.
Louis Cisneros, serving in Viet
Nam with the U.S. Army and
Cpl. David Cisneros of the U.S.
Marines, are both presently re-
covering from injuries received
in February.
David was injured Thursday,

tained “multiple fragmentation
wounds of the chest and shoul-
ders while participating in an
operation against hostile for-
ces”, according to a telegram
received by* his family. David

for treatment where his condi-
tion is said to be “good”. It is
estimated he will be in the hos-
pital about four weeks.
Louis, 18-year-old, was re-
portedly shot in the leg Tues-
day, February 15. Although let-
ters have been received from
him by his family and the Re-
fugio Timely Remarks since
that date, he has not mentioned
his injury. No additional de-
tails are available.

and Ernest Cisneros, all of Re-
fugio; Danny Cisneros of Beau-
mont, California; Richard Cis-
neros of Victoria; Eddie Cis-
neros of San Jose, California;

have served in the armed ser-
vices according to “Chive” Cis-
neros, and David and Louis are
the first to be injured, he add-
ed. Sgt. Major Cisneros has
been in the Army 26 years, his
brother said.
In a letter to the Refugio
Timely Remarks, dated Feb-
ruary 20 (five days after he had
been injured), Louis express-
ed hope that the people of Re-
fugio are backing the troops in
Viet Nam in their attempt to
stop “Communists, Red China
and the Viet Cong from over-
running the South Vietnamese”.
His letter reads:
“February 20, 1966
“Dear Sir,
“Just a few lines to let you
know that I am over here in
Viet Nam with the 101st Air-
borne Division, and hope that
the people of Refugio are back-
ing us over here. What we are
doing, to stop Communists, Red
China and Viet Cong from over-
running the South Vietnamese
and spreading Communism in
this small country.
“If we don’t .stop them here,
they will go further to the rest
of the small countries along
the China Sea, and we will have
to go and fight there too.
“I have been over here since
October, and my tour will be
over next October. The tour is
12 months. I am in the Army,
not Marines. (The letter was
written on United States Marine
Corps stationery — Editor’s
Note.)
Sincerely yours,
Louis Cisneros

secondary road to connect U.S.

posed to furnish all right of way
needed for the highway, free
of cost to the State.

gineering surveys to establish
location of the new route and
to prepare deeds for the needed!
right of way. The deeds are to
be turned over to county author-
ities for action.
