The Peralta family does not grant news media interviews.  Rather, it maintains this website to honor Rafael and allow his fellow Americans to learn about him.  It's hoped that the material appearing here will assist news media representatives in their efforts to help tell the story of Rafael Peralta.  Unattributed copy on this website may be attributed to its webmaster, Kevin Murphy, a former U.S. Marine to whom the Peralta family graciously granted the honor and privilege of assisting in this memorial endeavor.
