Kevin Antiporta, an armor crewman, was born in Stockton, California and is a first generation Filipino American. “It's a proud feeling to be serving as Pacific Islander.” His mother, Evangeline Antiporta, a native of Tagbilaran Bohol, Philippines, chose to move to the United States so she could make a better life for her and her child. Coming from a big family, Antiporta wanted to make a change and inspire those younger than him. “I wanted to be an inspiration to others around me so they can have and be more.”
