The True Story of
LEGION:
A Texan’s Adventure in the French Foreign Legion
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
RICHARD TREVINO, JR.
Born in the oil and ranch region of South Texas in a small town called Alice, the birthplace of Tejano music, to a poor working-class family. There was no work for his family in Alice in the early 70s, and subsequently had to move to San Marcos, which is on the edge of the Texas Hill Country, looking for better jobs and better opportunities for the small family. As a young boy, he yearned for adventure and always wanted to see the world.
Having to grow up as a ranch hand gave Richard the strength and determination to be persistent in life. To adapt to any situation and to move forward in life no matter what the situation – qualities that he would need later in life after joining the US Army and the French Foreign Legion.
From the hills of Korea to the deserts of Africa, he has roamed. You know, to some people, he’s the unluckiest guy in the world, but to others, he’s the luckiest S.O.B. you’ll ever meet. Either way, you see it he is Richard Trevino Jr. from a small town in Texas, and he is very happy that readers are taking the time to read his little story about his life.
