Jorge A. Molinabautista wanted to become a Marine since his childhood. "He believed in what he was doing," said his sister, Connie Molina. "He was so proud. He's a hero." Staff Sgt. Molinabautista, 37, of Rialto, Calif., spent 13 years in the Marine Corps and had trained as a drill sergeant at Camp Pendleton, Calif., where he was based. He was killed May 23 by hostile fire in Iraq’s Anbar province. He had asked the Marines to change his last name from Molina to Molinabautista to honor his mother, Maria Bautista, and the military accommodated his request. Molinabautista is survived by his wife, Dina, and three sons.
