He was born in 1970 And he did not serve in the military....Chickenhawk. He could have served in the GUlF war.. He would have been 20 -21.


Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, where his parents, Eleanor Darragh and Rafael Cruz, were working in the oil business.[7][8] His father, in 1957 during the Cuban Revolution, was a Cuban immigrant to the United States.[9] His mother, an American, was reared in Delaware, in a family of Irish and Italian descent.[8][10] Cruz's family returned to the U.S. when he was four years old.[9]

Cruz was born and spent the first four years of his life in Calgary before his parents returned to Houston. His father was jailed and tortured by the Fulgencio Batista regime and fought for Fidel Castro in the Cuban Revolution[37] but "didn't know Castro was a Communist" and later became a staunch critic of Castro when "the rebel leader took control and began seizing private property and suppressing dissent.

Cruz and his wife, Heidi Nelson Cruz, have two daughters, Caroline Camille and Catherine Christiane. Cruz met his wife while working on the George W. Bush presidential campaign of 2000. Cruz's wife is currently head of the Southwest Region in the Investment Management Division of Goldman, Sachs & Co. and previously worked in the White House for Condoleezza Rice and in New York as an investment banker.[41]
