It was June of 2003 when Roberto Cruz proudly followed in his father’s footsteps and joined the Army. He was deployed to Tikrit, Iraq in January of 2005 where he was immediately introduced to combat. “The first day I got to Iraq – I got there at night,” he says, “and then the morning after, we went on foot patrol and we started getting shot at.”
