California’s War Dead

    Jeremiah A. Baro

    Jeremiah A. Baro, 21

    Marines, Corporal
    Fallouja, Iraq
    Gender: Male
    Hometown: Fresno
    He was at that stage in life where he has to make the choice of what to do. It doesn't matter what I want him to do. It's what he wants to do.
    — Bert Baro, father, on his son enlisting

    Baro died with his childhood friend Jared Hubbard when a bomb exploded in Fallouja. Above, Baro is pictured at left with Hubbard. Three years later Hubbard's brother Nathan, who joined to honor them, was killed in a helicopter crash in Iraq.

    I Offer My Condolence To The Family Of Jeremiah Baro. I Understand The Meloncholy That Come From Loosing Some One. I Offer My Sympathy As Well As A Brief Message Of Hope From The Bible. Taken At John 5: 28 Which Reads: Do Not Marvel At This, Because The Hour Is Coming In Which All Those In The Memorial Tunes Will Hear His Voice And Come Out.

    I don't know this soldiers as I'm just visiting the LA Times website. I thank him and his family for his dedication to our county. Thank you for keeping America free and protecting our beliefs. It's because heroes like you my very young daughter will be able to live freely in this wonderful country. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! RIP

    Just thinking about you Jeremiah. I know you're watching over us on a daily basis, and I still think about you everyday. I love you cuzo, and I miss you. Tell auntie Marissa I said hi, and give her a kiss for me. Love you.
