Ramon Romero, 19

When his mother worried about his joining the Marines he told her: 'Mom, if everyone thought like you, this country wouldn't be free. We need people to defend the country.' He planned to become a police officer after leaving the military, in part because his family home in Watts was burglarized several times.
