Junior (Walter) Coffelt is my grandfather and younger brother of Ralph Coffelt. So we must be related. Where are you and what do you do?

I am the grandson of one of the nationalists that attacked Blair House in 1950. I'm really sorry about the loss of your great uncle. It's unfortunate that things were the way they were in Puerto Rico prior to it's current status in 1951. Unfortunately, we can't change the past.
My grandfather passed away in 1993. Although I knew him, I strongly disagreed with his views. I believe the U.S. to be the greatest nation on earth. It provides us with rights, freedoms and a system that (although not perfect) works to protect its citizens. Unfortunately, my grandfather only knew it as a colonial power in Puerto Rico. That had a negative effect not only on your family, but on mine also.
