Peralta, 25, an immigrant from Mexico who enlisted the day he got his green card work permit, was declared dead en route to a field hospital.
Rafael Peralta was the oldest son: strong, a weightlifter and athlete, head of the family since his father died in a workplace accident three years ago.
Even in their pain, Peralta's family members are not surprised that he decided to lead from the front.
At that point, barely alive, Peralta grabbed the grenade and cradled it to his body.
Peralta's sacrifice should be a legend in the making.
Peralta's story has been covered in military publications, a smattering of papers including the Seattle Times and the San Diego Union-Tribune, ABC News, and some military blogs.
