    In the name and spirit of the Tejanos who helped found and liberate Texas with the hope and belief in parternship with the Americans and were then displaced and subjugated by a power-hungry, racist nation who conveniently "forgot" their contributions once its means were achieved...Zapata's Blood cries out.

    My father Roman Longoria Garcia was a soldier who fought in World War II. He was a family man with pride in being a United States citizen who was given a purple heart medal for his efforts in that war. We are lobbying for his rights as a United States citizen.

    My name if Mica Angela Riley, granddaughter of the late Roman Longoria Garcia, great granddaughter of Paulita Longoria and great great granddaughter of Damacio Longoria. I am deeply saddened to have learned the terrible acts that were bestowed upon my ancestors. My grandfathers and family has served this country and received great recognition for their selflessness and bravery. Thru them my pride for this country is high, this is my home, a place that I have always believed that right can still prevail. I began to research our family lineage to be knowledgeable of our family history. I wanted to be able to share with my daughter who we are, who she is. As I searched and researched my ancestors the things I've learned have been sickening. I can not believe the horrible acts that happened to my family. As I read the stories of their struggles and hardships I felt a part of my pride die. How could this great country, who I pledged my allegiance to, prayed for and have been so patriotic for could have done this to there own citizens. My ancestors were good people, hard working people who only wanted to live peacefully. The injustice that has happened needs to be corrected. The right thing needs to be done. I would like to believe and be able to share with my daughter that even though sometimes bad things happen to good people, good can always prevail and justice will always be served.
