He was born and raised on a ranch located off of Alameda in El Paso, TX. He had 8 brothers and sisters, he was the first to enlist in the family. He worked on the ranch to help put food on the table… then he heard about CC Camp and he went to go join, it’s like a training where they had to start around 1941 or 1942 … He was in Company E and you know, they were all Mexican-American and my dad was one of them…” Mr. Moreno recalls memories of his father’s travels from CC Camp in El Paso to Massachusetts (photo in the snow), from Libya, North Africa to the Battle of Rapido River in Italy. Manuel Frausto Moreno was one of 27 men that returned from the Company E tour during WWII.
