Peer Review as of 11/03/21[edit]

The article is organized in a great way by separated topics by branches and moving the historical events chronologically. I would suggest taking more time on finding information to deepen the surface-level information in the sections with little information. This is necessary to develop a deeper understanding of the topic. Tamaz.young (talk) 17:03, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Borinqueneers[edit]

Would it be possible to add a mention of the Puerto Rican segregated 65th Infantry Regiment? Would be especially pertinent for WW2 and the Korean War 2600:4040:5E90:3F00:9683:C4FF:FE0A:5062 (talk) 18:25, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In need of more thorough research and review[edit]

No mention of the US Coast Guard or the Revenue Cutter Service. The article on "Ethnic minorities in the U.S. Armed Forces during World War II" at least has some statistical information on this topic for the Coast Guard. 2600:8805:8100:1C:6827:401F:4D06:F0A2 (talk) 16:55, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
