Dear _____________,

I am requesting that you intervene and reconsideration of Sgt. Rafael Peralta, USMC to be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, which the Pentagon has denied this United States Marine Hero of Mexican decent and which was based on a secluded process.

The American GI Forum is also supporting that Marine Sgt. Rafael Peralta be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, based on his Heroic Actions documented among the Marines who fought alongside Sgt. Peralta.

The  Congressional delegations from California and Hawaii, as well as the Congressional Hispanic Caucus have requested a Presidential review to award the Congressional Medal of  Honor to Sgt. Rafael Peralta, USMC.

Mr/Ms___________, based on these facts, I urge reconsideration and the awarding to Sgt Rafael Peralta, the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Sincerely, ......
