US cadets arrive Friday on peace mission

NEW YORK.- A group of United States cadets of the Queens Military Academy will arrive in the Dominican Republic on Friday, when for the first time they’ll set off on the tour “Mission Eagle,” which will take them to different cities in the Caribbean country.

The American military youngsters, most of them Dominican and Hispanic, were bid farewell yesterday Tuesday by Dominican ambassador in the United Nations, Virgilio Alcantara and the Office of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.

The cadets were given American flags for them to take in the mission, headed by their commandant Alirio Orduña.
