IN HONOR OF THE 50TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY OF ALFREDO AND GUILLERMINA
HERNANDEZ
______
HON. J. LUIS CORREA
of california
in the house of representatives
Wednesday, January 16, 2019
Mr. CORREA. Madam Speaker, I rise to commemorate the 50th wedding
anniversary of Alfredo and Guillermina Hernandez.
Alfredo and Guillermina were married December 18, 1968, in Mexico
Distrito Federal. While still residing in Mexico, they had three
children: Veronica, Jose Alfredo and David Alejandro.
Alfredo and Guillermina immigrated with their children to the United
States on September 29, 1979. They settled in Santa Ana, California,
where they became productive members of their community, never taking
for granted the opportunities our great country has provided them.
For 30 years until he retired, Alfredo worked for Miniondas, a
Spanish newspaper based out of Santa Ana, and Mrs. Hernandez has been a
small business owner in Santa Ana since 1987. Their hard work and
dedication bettered not only their lives, but the lives of their
children, grand-children and the generations of children who will
follow in their footsteps.
Their eldest daughter, Veronica, has been employed with the Santa Ana
Unified School District for 28 years, and is married to Ladislao
Guillen.
Their son, Jose Alfredo, who has been in practice for 18 years as an
immigration and criminal defense attorney, served the SAUSD for 10
years as an elected member of the School Board. He established his own
law firm in December of 2006, and is married to Alma, an attorney who
serves as a Riverside County prosecutor.
Their son, David Alejandro, served as a United States Marine for 14
years and now works at the Department of Health & Human Services, and
is married to Laura.
The legacy of this couple continues not only through their three
children, but also through their nine grandchildren, one of whom is
serving in the United States Army Reserve, another who has obtained a
university degree, and others who are pursuing their educations,
dreams, and goals.
Considering the strong values, they were provided with from their own
parents, it's not surprising that Mr. and Mrs. Hernandez achieved this
significant milestone. Alfredo's parents, now passed, were married for
50 years, and Guillermina's parents have been married for 69 years and
counting.
Madam Speaker, please join me in acknowledging the accomplished lives
of Alfredo and Guillermina Hernandez and the gift they've given their
children, a set of values that stem from their humble roots as
immigrants. Together, they have produced an extraordinary family, whose
members are now living the American Dream.
