Welcome to this week's episode of Urban Valor, where we feature the inspiring story of Marine Corps officer Daisy Romero. Despite growing up in poverty and being exposed to gang violence in South Central LA, Daisy was determined to make a better life for herself and her family, which led her to join the Marine Corps.

During her 15-year career, Daisy survived a bullet to the head and three IED explosions while serving in combat zones in the Middle East. She shares her experiences of being the only woman and Hispanic female in her unit and the challenges she faced, including the emotional toll that combat can take on individuals.

Daisy also emphasizes the importance of mentorship and support from fellow Marines during difficult times, and her story is a testament to the strength and resilience of women in the military and their vital role in defending our country.
