He was just a kid, a kid, a lovely kid. I don't know why God decided to take him but now he has an angel to sing and praise him. I know he did this for us, for all the people--not just for the family, but just for all the people in this country and in Iraq.
— Isabel Enciso, aunt
Martinez Salazar was born in Mexico and moved to Long Beach as a child, the Associated Press reported. He planned to get married after returning from his second tour in Iraq and hoped to make the military his career.
