Thalia Ramirez

Chief Warrant Officer 2 Thalia S. Ramirez, age 28, of San Antonio, Texas, died on September 5, 2012, in Logar Province, Afghanistan, of injuries suffered when her helicopter crashed.

As of this posting, it has not been determined if the aircraft was shot down or malfunctioned. 

She was assigned to the 1st Squadron, 17th Cavalry Regiment, 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade, 82nd Airborne Division, Fort Bragg, North Carolina. 

Saint Bernadette of
Lourdes, pray for
Thalia
Thalia was originally from Nairobi, Kenya. She joined the Army in 2003 as a water purification specialist. She became a pilot in 2008 and was on her second deployment. She had flown more than 270 missions and 650 hours during her latest tour of duty. She had nearly completed a year long deployment in Afghanistan.
Military comrades describe Thalia as a warrior. 

Thalia is survived by many loving friends and relatives including her father, Justin Ramirez; mother, Alexandra Moll (both in Kenya); and her husband, Jesse Belbeck, in the U.S.A.

Let us pray that Thalia Ramirez is in heaven. Let us pray that she is at peace and is with God. Amen.
