Woodlake Union High School in June 2002. He then signed up with
the United States Army for a three-year commitment and was sent
to Fort Benning, for boot camp, where he also received advanced
infantry training. He served two tours of duty in Iraq, the
first in 2003-2004. During the second tour, on July 15, 2006,
his unit responded to an explosion at a marketplace, set up a
perimeter, and began to receive small arms fire. During the
firefight, an improvised explosive device detonated, killing
Specialist Holguin one month before his 22nd birthday.
Specialist Holguin was awarded the Purple Heart and the Bronze
Star medals for his active military service in the United States
Army and for his actions, not only on that day, but for the
entire time he spent in Iraq. He is survived by his mother,
father, and brother.
This resolution designates a 4.5-mile portion of State Highway
Route 245 (Millwood Drive) from Avenue 364 to Avenue 398 near
the town of Elderwood, in Tulare County, as the Specialist
Manuel Joaquin Holguin Memorial Highway. The resolution further
requests that the Department of Transportation erect appropriate
signs upon receiving donations from non-state sources to cover
the costs.
