es_US spanish locale doesn't recognize meridian (AM/PM)

Hi!
I am working on a bilingual site for US users - it will be in English and
Spanish... I came across some difficulties formatting dates. I set the
locale depending on language chosen and use strftime to display the
formatting I need. However, it looks like none of the Spanish locales (I am
using es_US, but I tested others) use AM & PM values. I realize that AM & PM
aren't used much outside US, but I believe that Spanish speaking users
within the US will be more familiar with AM/PM notation.

I looked at the source files for locales on the server (I am using Redhat
Linux ES), and, indeed, values that relate to AM / PM are empty.
I am not sure whether there's a PHP way around it, or maybe I should find a
different source for the es_US locale and reinstall it (not sure how to do
it), but so far I had no success finding any information about it... Seems
like everybody else is perfectly happy using 24-hour format for US Spanish
locale on Linux / Unix.

I would appreciate any help!
Thanks
