Miguel Encinias, a Las Vegas, N.M., native who fought in three wars and received three Distinguished Flying Crosses, died peacefully in his sleep Saturday. He was 92.
His son and daughter said he died of natural causes in an Albuquerque nursing home.
One of New Mexico’s most decorated war veterans, Encinias served in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War and was a former prisoner of war. He later helped oversee the creation of the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C.

RIP. A generation is passing away and is being replaced by a lot of Pajama Boys.
I watched the video and read the article on Miguel.
Pollen count went sky high.

Outstanding member of a sub culture that runs along the old Santa Fe Trail.
