Rest in peace, Ariana A. Bouche, a 27-vear-old officer who gave her life ir service to her country. A pilot of the Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker 1 st Lt. Bouche was serving on a mission over Iraq when a U.S. militarv aircraft crashed, claiming the lives of brave service members dedicated to the mission. t's impossible to imagine the devastating phone call her parents had to receive - the words no familv should ever have to hear that their child will not be coming home A young American who chose to serve something greater than herself... taken far too soon. Today, we remember her courage We honor her service And we recognize the sacrifice she made for this nation Rest easy, Lieutenant. A grateful nation salutes you.
