The mysteries of World War II continue to unravel to this day, and one native-born Laredoan has an artifact that his father brought back from the warfront that continues to puzzle him as he wants to find the rightful owners of the artifact in question.
Native-born Laredoan J. Gilberto Quezada, an educator, author and essayist, was born in the barrio El Azteca in 1946. His father was Pedro Quezada, who was 34 years old when he was drafted into military service during World War II. Pedro Quezada was honorably discharged and left a legacy of heroism for his family, and he also left his son a Japanese soldier’s helmet with a bullet hole in it. And now he is now trying to find the family of the helmet’s rightful owner.
