Family Surviving the Salvadoran Civil War | Jorge Ventura The Freedom Records

This week on The Freedom Records, front line reporter Jorge Ventura joins us to share his parents' story as young teenagers in El Salvador when the violent Salvadoran Civil War erupted in 1980. The twelve-year war began in El Salvador between the FMNL, a revolutionary communist rebel group, and the National Salvadoran Army. At the time, the Soviets were funding the communist movement during the Cold War, driving former US Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan to provide economic aid to the Salvadoran government. Many innocent civilians were caught in extreme upheaval, including Jorge's parents.Show more

In his career as a journalist, Jorge has covered the border crisis in depth and explains how the open border allows sex trafficking, gangs like MS-13, and drug cartels to flourish, specifically endangering Latino communities across the US.

Like Jorge, we believe Americans would have a greater appreciation for this country if they knew of the sacrifices their families made in the past to create a better future.

That is why we do what we do. We hope you appreciate learning from Jorge's powerful family history and perspective as he recognizes the value of respecting a strong heritage, while also cherishing our American way of life and the freedoms we have today.
