\nSubject: RE: Request from MALDEF<\/p>\n

Dear MALCISTAS:
\nPlease take a moment to review this email and consider whether you know anyone who could help us. My office is interested in speaking with Latinas or Latinos who have served in the U.S. armed forces while legal permanent resident immigrants of the U.S. If you know anyone who meets this description, who is in Texas, has left the military and is willing to talk to MALDEF, we would appreciate it very much. We are holding these conversations to gather information about access to free public university tuition for immigrants who served in the military. Many legal permanent residents have served in the U.S. military; we intend to advocate on behalf of these veterans and ensure their participation in the program that offers free tuition at Texas public colleges and universities.<\/p>\n

Thank you very much.
