Maj. Gustavo Ferreira (a captain in the photo, but recently promoted) was born in Portugal. He tried to enroll in the Portuguese military academy, but his letter of recommendation arrived a week late, so he was denied admission. So, instead, Ferriera moved to the United States where he joined the American Army, obtained a PhD from Louisiana State University and worked on the faculty of Virginia Tech. “I felt serving in the Army was a showing of gratitude due to the United States . . . I wanted to give back to the United States by serving in the Army and the Reserve,” said Ferreira.
