As a proud second-generation paratrooper who had the privilege to command a paratrooper company and serve as a Jumpmaster in the premiere Airborne force of the world-82nd ABN DIV, I could not ask for anything more rewarding in life! I've been heavily inspired by my father Rafael Dominguez a Korea and Vietnam War veteran who adopted me at birth, my Godfather “Ranger” Duke Armendariz Nat’l President of the 82ND ABN DIV Assoc. 2002-03, and without a doubt all the highly-distinguished veterans I've had the honor of personally knowing since age 5, i.e., COL(R) Robert “Bob” Chisolm, CPT(R) Isaac “Ike” Camacho, and CSM(R) Joe “China Boy” Lopez. I will never forget and forever be influenced by their meaningful sacrifices to this country. AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY!
