It is good to hear that the U.S. Congress has honored the Spanish effort in
the American Revolution. My 4th ggrandfather, Antonio Pena, an "Islenos"
militiaman born in the Canaries fought, under General Galvez at the siege of
Pensacola. The Islenos are today alive and well in St. Bernard Parish, LA.

Jose Antonio Michel I believe the city of Galveston Texas is named in honor of General Bernardo Galvez?

You are right. Bernardo de Galvez y Madrid was the 61st Viceroy of New Spain.
