Today we remember Lance Corporal Juana Navarro Arellano.

Juana was born in Mexico and became a U.S. citizen at 13 years of age when her family moved to California. In 2005, she enlisted in the Marines, following her two brothers’ examples.

On April 8, 2006, Arellano was holding down a defensive position while guarding other soldiers on their mission near Taqaddam, Iraq.. She was just 24 years old.

In 2019, a post office in Lance Corporal Arellano’s home of Ceres, CA was dedicated in her honor.

“As an immigrant, Juana represents the brave spirit of those who risk everything to come to our country, and as a Marine, she stands as an inspiration for all who go above and beyond the call of duty,” said former Congressman Denham when he introduced legislation to dedicate the Lance Corporal Juana Navarro Arellano Post Office Building.

We honor her service and sacrifice.
