40 years ago Mrs. Ugarte came to the US from Mexico hoping for a better life, and instilled in her children the value of hard work. When her two daughters became LAPD officers, it brought her tremendous pride. Now, they stand next to her with tremendous pride as she becomes a US citizen.

Adelita did exist...
Her name was Adela Velarde Pérez, she was born in Chihuahua in 1900. As a teenager she joined the White Cross as a nurse, caring for the wounded in the Northern Division. She was recognized for her skill and her good hand for nursing and that is how, thanks to her fame, she began to name the women who cared for and helped the revolutionaries "Adelitas". It is said that in 1914 she met Antonio Del Río Armenta, who fell in love with her and composed her famous corrido for her.

In 1941, the Secretary of National Defense awarded her the Revolutionary Merit Award during her lifetime. And in 1962 she was named a member of the Mexican Legion of Honor.
This is the photograph of Adela Velarde Pérez. The classic photograph of the revolution in which a woman in a skirt and shawl is seen on the train stairs cannot be Adela Velarde Pérez, since on the date that Jerónimo Hernández took that photograph (1912), Adela Velarde was a 12 year old girl.
