California’s War Dead

    Sergio Gudino, 22

    Army, Specialist
    Baghdad, Iraq
    Gender: Male
    Hometown: Pomona
    He liked what he was doing.... He never seemed scared about anything.
    — Victor Gudino, brother

    Gudino's family tried to convince him not to return to Iraq. He suffered a serious shoulder wound during his first tour, but wanted to rejoin his unit. Before enlisting, he worked three jobs to support his young family.

    Sergio
    I have never met anyone more proud of their son than your dad. You can feel it when he talks about you! You must have been an amazing man!

    I don't know this soldiers as I'm just visiting the website. I thank him and his family for his dedication to our county. Thank you for keeping America free and protecting our beliefs. It's because heroes like you my very young daughter will be able to live freely in this wonderful country. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Many your memory never be forgotten. RIP
