Sgt. Aquilino Gonell, Author of American Shield: The Immigrant Sergeant Who Defended Democracy, dives into his life as immigrant and serving his adopted country.
Aquilino Gonell arrived in the United States from the Dominican Republic as a young boy. Determined to be a success story, he joined the army to pay for college and served his adopted country in Iraq. Upon his return, Gonell landed a position with the United States Capitol Police and rose to the rank of sergeant.
In this episode of The Revolución, Gonell talks with co-hosts Linda Lane Gonzalez, Diego Lastra, Kathryn Garcia Castro, and Court Stroud about what he saw during the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The brutal injuries Gonell sustained that day ended his career in law enforcement. The American patriot also speaks about his new book, American Shield: The Immigrant Sergeant Who Defended Democracy, which former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi calls “an all-American tale of duty and determination.”
Thanks to Susan Shapiro for her help in arranging this interview.
