The first American woman killed in Iraq is Pfc. Lori Ann Piestewa. She is American Indian and one of eight soldiers found during the rescue of POW Jessica Lynch, who was Lori's room mate at Ft. Bliss, El Paso , Texas. Lori was 23 years of age.. the mother of a four year old son and a three year old daughter. She lived in Tuba City, Arizona and was a member of the Hopi Nation. There are currently 56 Hopis serving in the Us military... 48 are in Iraq. Lori is believed to be the first American Indian woman ever to be killed in combat..for the United States military..There is great sadness and pride in the land of her ancestors.
On the day that Lori's death was confirmed by the Army a light snow fell in Tuba City, her hometown. According to Hopi beliefs, the soul of a person who has led a good and honorable life returns to Hopi land in the form of precipitation. In Hopi, Piestewa is defined as the rainwater that collects on the desert floor after a heavy downpour...

Lori Piestewa came home that day......

Not sure what to make of it here in AZ. The Democrat governor just rammed a name-change for a mountain and a highway in Phoenix to (dis)honor Miss Piestewa, contrary to bylaws of the place-names commission.

Exactly.

Napolitano learn her political tactics from the Clintons.

At the cost of the "Rule of the law".

It has done more damage then honor.

Thank you for this post. As an Arizonan (my adopted home state of 30+ years) I am so proud of this brave young woman, and yet so sad that her two young chidren will grow up without their mother.

God Bless all our troops and give comfort to the families who have lost their loved ones in this conflict.
