In this week's episode of Urban Valor, Marine Corps officer Daisy Romero shares her incredible story of surviving a bullet to the head and three IED explosions while serving her country. As a Hispanic woman from South Central LA, Daisy faced numerous challenges growing up, including poverty and exposure to gang violence. However, she was determined to make a better life for herself and her family, which led her to join the Marine Corps.
Throughout her 15-year career in the Marines, Daisy has served in Okinawa, Japan, and multiple deployments to combat zones in the Middle East. Despite being the only woman and Hispanic female in her unit, Daisy earned her fellow Marines' respect by proving herself through her dedication and bravery.
Daisy discusses her experiences in combat, including the challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated environment and the emotional toll that combat can take on individuals. She also emphasizes the importance of mentorship and support from fellow Marines, particularly during difficult times.
This video is a testament to the strength and resilience of women in the military and their vital role in defending our country. Daisy's story is an inspiration to all who watch and a reminder that with determination and perseverance, anything is possible.
