Serna was awarded two Purple Hearts and the Distinguished Service Cross. the second highest military honor after the Medal of Honor. This bill serves to commend his bravery by renaming the Tornillo Port of Entry in honor of Pvt. Marcelino Serna. who lived in the area and is buried with full military honors at Fort Bliss National Cemetery in El Paso. The TornilloMarcelino Serna Port of Entry will not only honor this extraordinary mans service to our nation. it will serve as a reminder of the countless MexicanAmerican immigrants who have fought valiantly to keep our nation safe. Their contributions and sacrifices will not be ignored or forgotten. I urge my colleagues to support the legislation.
