We don't militarize our communities. It's a founding principle of our democracy.

The only part of the United States Columbus ever stepped foot in is Puerto Rico.
. He was never on the mainland. Go ahead, look it up!

Columbus landed in PR on November 19, 1493, during his 2nd voyage, naming it San Juan Bautista (after John the Baptist).
He also did a brief visit to St. Croix.
