I'm including a quote from the text of PFC Jessica Lynch's homecoming remarks, July 22, 2003.
"I'm happy that some of the soldiers I served with made it home alive and it hurts that some of my company didn't. Most of all, I miss Lori Piestewa. She was my best friend. She fought beside me and it was an honor to have served with her".

i saw that exhibit when i went to Washington D.C. and it was really cool. Thou it was kindof werid seeing her uniform just there in glass. When i first saw it i thought "Wow" and " Lori was Jessica`s best friend... WOW. as you can tell i was really shocked to see it but it also gave me a better undestanding of Women in the Millitary.

That's a touching tribute to Lori & the other servicewomen. I bookmarked the link, so I could go back later & read more. My thoughts & prayers go out to Lori's family & friends & to all of the other servicewomen & servicemen & their families.
From reading about Jessica, I know she & Lori was best friends & comrades in combat. A tear comes to my eye when I think what Jessica must be going through as she recuperates from her injuries & surgeries while thinking about Lori & her fellow comrades who was killed in action.
I've had surgeries & lost persons who I cared about right before & also right after I had surgeries. Believe me, it makes the healing process a lot harder to deal with & makes the recuperation take longer. So what I'm trying to say is, Jessica if you get a chance to read this: I know it's hard dealing with the traumas, surgeries, & the death of your friends & comrades. But from one survivor to another Jessica, you can overcome it. It'll take a while to get over it, but you'll be able too.
Jessica, I know you miss your friend Lori & your other friends & comrades. But just remeber Jessica, as long you keep their memories in your heart. Then they're not really gone, because you have the memories of the good times you & them had & shared.

Here's a more direct link to the memorial, but don't lose the one you bookmarked. It can be stressful trying to find it again.
It also contains alot more information about the memorial.My Webpage
Of interest:
The museum has a computerized interactive database containing a permanent record of the member's military service, photos, citations and other pertinent information. Visitors to the museum can access this info.
If/when Jessica has her information submitted, this will be one more opportunity for everyone to see her gracious and heartwarming smile.
