There's a difference in the military between following someone because of rank and because of respect. People had a lot of respect for him. His leadership style is one of the best I've come across in a long time.
— Jason Morris, Sergeant and friend
Born in Guadalajara, Mexico, Pena moved with his family to the United States when he was 2. As a child, he liked to draw and build model planes and cars. He also loved anything to do with the military.
