I did not know Rachel; however, as of yesterday I wear a silver bracelet with her name, rank, date she was KIA, and her state of WI. I found her name on a bracelet in a group that was available from some friends of mine. I wear it every day and will continue to do so. Please know your daughter is not forgotten, nor will she be as long as I have this bracelet, as I will think of her every day as I wear it. God bless.

I never met you Rachael though I remember your face in one of the Laundry mats in Camp Taji, Iraq dedicated to you. I was moved by your face and your story. Thank you for the ultimate sacrifice that you and your dear family have made. I pray that you are at peace and watching over us all. May God bless us all. Very Respectfully, Alicia Vasquez

I remember Hugo from basic and AIT she was always smiling and had such a wonderful smile. I will always remeber her.

Almost back home

Feel free to add a military tribute video as a video response to this video, or feel free to comment on this video! According to her fellow Soldier's, Rach was outside the wire for a week prior to her last misson. She then volunteered to take the place of her Sgt who also volunteered regularly (God bless you Amy!). She then volunteered to get into the first vehicle knowing it is the first to be hit by roadside bombs. Rach and her Sgt always wanted to be there for thier Soldiers in case someone got hurt. Ju
