He is along with his brother, Mike miguel marquez and Armando marquez had planned to enlist in the air corps but the recruiting sergeant gave them a good line of propaganda and convinced armando to join the airborne instead .Mike wanted to be a pilot but followed his younger brother.Both ended up in the demolitions platoon.Although Mike was assigned to another section he would end up fighting alongside the filthy 13 in Normandy and Holland.
