Everyday Warrior Women

Worth Mentioning!

Sending blessings to those in the battle....

Jessica Lynch
Lynch, a 19-year-old supply clerk, was rescued Tuesday from a hospital in the southern Iraqi city of Nasiriyah by a team of Navy SEALs, Marine commandos, Air Force pilots and Army Rangers.
The commandos found her after an Iraqi lawyer saw Lynch being slapped by a security guard in the hospital and alerted U.S. forces.

Pfcs. Lori Piestewa
She became the first U.S. servicewoman killed in the war.

SHE IS OUR HERO
Piestewa (pronounced pee-ESS-tuh-wah) was a member of the Hopi Tribe, whose reservation is near the Navajo Reservation community of Tuba City. She was a 23-year-old single mother raising a 4-year-old boy and a 3-year-old girl in Tuba City.
Our family is proud of her. She is our hero, her brother Wayland said Saturday in a prepared statement to reporters. We are going to hold that in our hearts. She will not be forgotten. It gives us comfort to know that she is at peace right now.
Behind him, family members and friends gathered on the porch of Piestewa's parents' trailer. Cars stopped briefly in front of the home as neighbors got out and handed flowers to the family.
A low chain-link fence in front of the home was adorned with yellow ribbons, a red, white and blue heart and a sign with a picture of Piestewa, the Statue of Liberty and the World Trade Center towers.







"Peace is your natural state. When you let go of your attachments and aversions to the emotions that are blocking inner peace from your view, you will see that it is always available to you."
