Martin Madrigal
Martin’s story begins in California, where his parents worked tirelessly in the fields after immigrating from Mexico. Growing up, Martin faced financial struggles, language barriers, and low expectations from those around him. Despite these challenges, he was determined to carve a different path for himself, fueled by the memory of 9/11 and a desire to serve his country.
His enlistment in the Marine Corps was no easy feat. From struggling with academic requirements to enduring the rigors of boot camp, Martin pushed through every obstacle with a grit that would define his future endeavors.
