==Biography==
Peralta was born on April 7, 1979 in Mexico City. The son of Rafael and Rosa Peralta and the oldest of four (his siblings are Icela, Karen and Ricardo), he emigrated to the United States.〔 Peralta's father died in a workplace accident, leaving him head of the household.〔 After his 1997 graduation from Morse High School in San Diego, he joined the United States Marine Corps when he received his green card in 2000 and became an American citizen while serving in the Marine Corps.
Peralta reportedly served the United States with enthusiasm and patriotism: "In his parents' home, on his bedroom walls hung only three items - a copy of the United States Constitution, the Bill of Rights and his boot camp graduation certificate. Before he set out for Fallujah he wrote to his 14-year-old brother, 'Be proud of me, bro ...and be proud of being an American.'"
