Dear Congressman Howard L. Berman,
     I David V. Gonzales, Jr. have recently been informed by the Veterans community Center, Santa Ana University, Riverside University and veteran organizations, that current published magazines and books have been featuring the wrong picture and possibly misleading information pertaining to my father, P.F.C. David M. Gonzales.  To my knowledge, the incorrect picture and data was obtained from the department of the United States Army.  It has also come to my attention that an inaccurate photograph has been on display in the United States Pentagon.  I consider this situation to be very critical, not only to myself, but to American history.  My father was extremely proud to serve this great country and deserves to be remembered with honor and respect.
     In addition to this letter a correct picture and news article of P.F.C. David M. Gonzales, will be included.  On behalf of the entire Gonzales family and myself, we would deeply appreciate it very much if you would further investigate the situation and correct this error.
     Thank you very much for your time and generous effort to research this mistake and have it corrected as soon as possible.

Sincerely,
David V. Gonzales, Jr.
