Sgt. Sharon B Fry, a unit supply specialist and squad leader with the 12th
Aviation Battalion, the U.S. Army Aviation Brigade, U.S. Army Military
District of Washington, is a second-generation American born to Mexican
parents.
Her grandparents originally came to the U.S. from Mexico in the 1960s.
They settled in Chicago and worked in factories to support their family.
Fry, the second oldest of three daughters born to Sergio Martinez and
JoAnn Villa, was raised in El Paso, Texas, in a predominantly Mexican
community.
"The Mexican culture was very rich there," said Fry. "I didn't even
realize I was a minority growing up with my tight-knit family in that
community. It wasn't something that we ever had to think about.
"
It was very difficult for me when I went to basic training," Fry said.
"It wasn't the physical demands that I struggled with. I had a hard time
adjusting to people with different backgrounds and experiences."
She was the only Hispanic trainee in her platoon and for the first time in her life she felt out of place, she recalled.
Marital Status ( Divorced).
