News. In a feature story I did on his efforts to promote international trade, I quoted a statement he made: that he has traded both goods and bullets with people from other nations, and he decided it was far better to trade goods than bullets. In the story, I was only able to include a brief mention of Eduardo's experience in the Battle of the Bulge. The "You Served" account gives more detail of what Eduardo went through fighting for his country. Eduardo Peniche is a truly wise and courageous man. America should heed is advice.
