Statement from Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross on the Passing of Chelsea Decaminada
US Dept of Commerce ^ | 5/7/2019 | US Dept Of Commerce

Posted on 05/07/2019 7:30:23 AM PDT by God luvs America

On May 4, 2019, Chelsea Decaminada passed away as a result of injuries sustained during the April 21st terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka, where she was on assignment. It was our great hope that Chelsea would recover from her injuries. My prayers are with Chelsea’s family during this difficult time.

Chelsea was a talented International Program Specialist in our Commercial Law Development Program (CLDP) of the Office of the General Counsel. Chelsea devoted her life to public service, and her dedication and spirit were a model for all of us at Commerce. She served her country with distinction. As we mourn her loss, we must continue to fight terrorism around the world.

Chelsea was just 25 years old. She was an incredible dancer and my daughter (also a great dancer) and wife knew her and were very good friends with her brother and mother.

I started a prayer thread back on 4/23 when we were first alerted of the situation and explained things as they progressed: https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3744073/posts

Every time they take one of ours, we have got to take 1000 of theirs.
