Éramos muy pobres", dice Naranjo, de 87 años. "Teníamos muy poco que comer". "Dejan un legado para la siguiente generación de latinos que se unen a California Conservation Corps", dice [Benny Garcia], cuyo tio, Ernie Esparza, de 88 años, era uno de los CCC Boys originales en el evento. "Son una conexión real al pasado para nuestro miembros actuales". Lauro Vega, 85, de Chula Vista, dio testimonio de su vida, ya que muchos de estos hombres fueron enviados a la Segunda Guerra Mundial luego de que dejaron CCC.

The Civilian Conservation Corps' achievements are vast. With camps in every one of the 48 states, the CCC built most of the state parks across the nation, including more than 20 parks in California. If you've hiked on Mt. Diablo or camped at Pfeiffer Big Sur you've seen the CCC's handiwork. If you've heated a pot of coffee at your campsite, it was likely on one of thousands of stone stoves the CCC built. Crews also worked in the national parks, such as Yosemite.
