Jessica Y. Sarandrea

Allah akbar!

To the family of SPC Jessica Sarandrea, You do not know me and I do not know you or Jessica, but... Today I went to Section 60 of the Arlington Cemetery and saw Jessica's head stone. I thought it was important to let you know that someone is visiting her and praying for you all. I walked a lot of Section 60 today and Jessica stood out to me. I, always, was a female Army soldier and Jessica was the first and only female soldier that I came across during my visit. Not knowing her but seeing her head stone among a sea of men names just struck me. Please know that she has had an impact on me that I can't explain and I will do everything I can to visit her often.

My fiancee, Tony, knew Yvette since Fort Hood and remained very good friends with her while stationed in FOB Marez. He misses her greatly and will never forget her and their friendship. I am very very sorry for your loss. I did not know Yvette personally, but I know how much she means to Tony and will forever remember her. Take care. Be in peace Yvette. -Mitzy.

Its mere devastation, I can't believe your loss. May the day i learnt about your death remain cursed forever. Talk about missing someone, You will be totally missed girl. your everyday smile was a force to be reckoned. May peace be with your family and fellow comrades. RIP till we meet again. Andrew Njenga
