She was killed on 22 July 2004, when the guntruck she was in was hit by an IED in Samarra, Iraq. She was one of the best NCO's I have ever met and I am honored to have met her. She used to peak her head over my door and wake me up to go eat breakfast. You could always smell coffee coming from her room everyday. She had to have it. I will never forget her. She is truly an Angel in heaven smiling down on us and protecting us with her wings. I MISS YOU FRIEND. April 11, 2008 Leary B. Rivas, Jr I had the pleasure and honor of knowing Tatjana Reed in 1991 before she enlisted, but she did tell me about her plans to serve and I did see and talk to her after her enlistment. She was one of the most dedicated people that I've ever known, and in my heart, as well as so many others, she will be dearly missed and her sacrifice will never be forgotten. My most sincere condolences go out to her family, as well as my prayers. The light of her memory will forever shine in my heart. |
