Soldier. That was his life. And he was a good soldier. A good son. Twice a week he called. When I talked to him, I told him always, 'Watch your back. You are in the war.'
— Tony Roque, father, in the Long Beach Press-Telegram
Roque was born in the Philippines and came to the U.S. with his family in 2003, according to the Long Beach Press-Telegram. He took classes at Harbor College and worked several jobs while waiting for his green card, which took about a year, then enlisted in the Army.
