I received a telephone call today from Sgt. Martin Osorio, Escuadron 201 in Mexico City, informing me that on Sunday August 23 el Sargento Gilberto De La Rosa Alvarez, a member of El Escuadron 201 (Mexican Pilots Participating in WWII) and frequent visitor at American GI Forum National Conferences, passed away in Mexico City.
The American GI Forum extends its deepest sympathies and condolences.

Nuestros mas sinceros pesames.
