Mexican American hero of WWI up for Texas highest military honor Suzanne Gamboa © Provided by NBC News Deprived for years of full recognition for his bravery in World War I, Marcelino Serna, a former Army private, was chosen by a Texas legislative committee on Friday to be posthumously awarded the Texas Legislative Medal of Honor. Serna, a Mexican immigrant, is often considered Texas most decorated WWI veteran. He is credited with singlehandedly charging and capturing 24 soldiers, but further research has found other acts of bravery. His wartime acts have re-emerged as Latino advocates and lawmakers wage a campaign for him to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor, which the groups say he has been denied for decades because of racism and xenophobia.
