Excerpt from Puerto Rico Status Plebiscite: Joint Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Native American and Insular Affairs of the Committee on Resources and the Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere of the Committee on International Relations, House of Representatives, 104th Congress; Oct., 17, 1995
I tell the sad story of my father's funeral, where the Puerto Rican and the American flags were both on the casket and someone said to me, why is the American flag on your father's casket. I said, he wanted it that way; he served in the Army. About half an hour later, he came back to me and said, you know, I had no idea that the Puerto Rican Army used the American flag.
