==Biography==
López was born on August 23, 1925, in Tampa, Florida, and grew up in the neighborhood of Ybor City.〔〔 His father, also named Baldomero López, had immigrated to the United States from the Asturias region of Spain as a young man.〔 The younger Lopez attended Hillsborough High School, where he was an accomplished basketball player and a regimental commander in the school's Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps program.〔〔 He enlisted in the United States Navy on July 8, 1943, shortly after graduating from high school, and served until June 11 of the next year.〔
He was selected to attend the U.S. Naval Academy in the midst of World War II, and because of the ongoing war he and his classmates were placed in an accelerated three-year program.〔 Upon graduating on June 6, 1947, he was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps. He attended The Basic School at Quantico, Virginia, after which he became a platoon commander in the Platoon Leaders Class Training Regiment.〔
In 1948, López went to China, where he served as a mortar section commander and later as a rifle platoon commander at Tsingtao and Shanghai. On his return from China he was assigned to Camp Pendleton, California. He was serving there when, shortly after the outbreak of the Korean war, he volunteered for duty as an infantry officer in Korea. He was promoted to the rank of first lieutenant on June 16, 1950.〔
