He joined before Sept. 11 and, like everyone in this country, he felt it was an attack on our soil. He was one of those people who wanted to protect the United States. He felt like that was his duty.
— Kristie Tran, sister
A Vietnam native, Tran was a naturalized U.S. citizen. His father was put in a "re-education camp" after Saigon fell in 1975. The family eventually escaped. Quoc Tran carried one sister on his shoulders, and led his other one by the hand through the jungle.
