Sgt. 1st Class Jose Ibarra, El Monte, California native and public affairs operations NCO, is one of thousands of Hispanic Americans who serve worldwide and are recognized annually during Hispanic Heritage Month, Sept. 15- Oct. 15, for their contributions to the Army community.
Ibarra’s perseverance paid off when he learned, that he won an Emmy award for his work, “Spc. 5 James McCloughan: ‘They Called Me Doc’”. The video featured an Army medic who received a Medal of Honor for saving 10 Soldiers lives at Nui Yon Hill, Vietnam.
“Tyler Price and I worked on the feature for weeks and it was overwhelming when we received the news,” said Ibarra, 2nd Infantry Division/ROK-U.S. Combined Division. “I never imagined being so fortunate and was immensely grateful to all the people who helped make it possible.”
