Brief Biography
Sergio Antonio Morales Gonzalez Jr. one of five children was born March 17, 1945 in Fronton, Ciales, Puerto Rico. However he was not registered as being born until March 19, 1945. He was named after his father Sergio Morales Morales and his Paternal grandfather Jose Antonio Morales Manzano. His second surname Gonzalez was that of his mother Maria T. Gonzalez Ojeda who was born January 6, 1918 in Fronton, Ciales, Puerto Rico. He was known as “junior” during his young childhood and after being drafted during the Vietnam era was then known as “El Veterano” (The Veteran). During his senior years he is now known as “Commander Morales” since he was the commander of Chapter 1782 Newburgh, New York and Commander of the Department of the Caribbean-Puerto Rico of the Military Order of Purple Heart organization.
Many years have come and gone. I, Javier Angel Morales, the youngest of five have decided to write about my brother Sergio. There are many sad, fond and happy memories that I shared with him and I would like to share his life with all of you. On a personal note he is caring, trustworthy, inspiring, thoughtful about his past, present and current situation. He relates many of his thoughts through his poems and here I would like to pass on the story of his life as he sees it and I confirm it.
