A little bit of American History...

UU., En proporción, el grupo étnico más grande que sirve en la guerra. 1943 El 23 de agosto, Macario García se convirtió en el primer ciudadano mexicano en recibir una Medalla de Honor del Congreso de los Estados Unidos, pero se le negó el servicio en el Café Oasis cerca de su casa en Texas. |

2020 Census
The time is short to complete your 2020 Census. This year COVID-19 made us all aware of how important completing the Census means. The dollars from the Federal Government come based on the number of people - American citizen or not - that have completed the Census form. Prince George's County lost more than $18,000 for every single individual living in the county who did not complete their Census Form in 2010. Don't let this happen again.
