Day By Day© by Chris Muir.Tuesday, November 23, 2004
Here's to Sergeant Rafael Peralta, one of the bravest Marines on the planet. Sgt. Peralta made the ultimate sacrifice Tuesday, throwing himself on a grenade to save the other men with him. He was 25.
Sgt. Peralta wasn't even a member of the patrol unit. He often volunteered to go with the units. Upon entering a house, he was wounded in the face. Then a fragmentation grenade was rolled into the room, at which time he threw himself on it. I don't have any info on whether he was married or not, but I'm sure his parents are very proud of him. I know I am.
