Hispanic Army family proud of heritage, American citizenship

- The smell of patelitos wafts through the air as the Army logistician prepares his uniform for school. As they start their day, he, originally from Cuba, and his Honduran wife, reflect on the importance of their respective Hispanic cultures and on being U.S. citizens during National Hispanic Heritage Month.

Active Guard Reserve soldier Army Capt. Daniel Lopez-Guerrero is currently attending the Captains Career Course for the logistics branch and will be assigned to the 317th Military Police Battalion in Tampa, Florida, as the S4.

Daniel said his parents came to Miami from Cuba when they were very young at the beginning of the Cuban exile. They have been U.S. citizens for the past 40 years, living in Miami, where he grew up.
