Pablo Calderon joined the Army in 1997, right out of High School. “He went straight to the army from high school,” said his sister. “He wanted to improve himself. He was proud. He loved his country.”
Sgt. Calderon was killed when an IED was detonated near his vehicle in Fallujah, Iraq. Also killed in the attack was Sgt. Jose Guereca of Missouri City, Texas.
