Katie M Soenksen

This is SGT Christopher Leon. I was good friends with Katie when she died. We were in the same unit together. I was out there with her when her convoy was attack, I was at my Iraqi Police Station conducting training when I heard the radio traffic come from one of their drivers sending the SITREP to our battle space owners. That radio transmission haunts me to this day and I still feel that my squad should have dont something about it. I miss Katie very much and wish that I could see her just one more time. She was a great person, friend and Soldier. I can only imagine what her parents must feel about their daughter. They raised a wonderful daughter who put other peoples need before her own and would bend over backwards for her friends and family. God has recruiter a wonderful Angel into his kingdom. I just only hope that she is watching over her family first and foremost and over us, the men an women who sacrifice their lives everyday will deployed to a combat zone. I miss you Katie and I will see you once God needs me up there.

Rest in peace young warrior!

My sincere condolences to the family of Katie Soenksen. My son will never forget that fateful night... and he will never speak of it again since telling me the sad, sad story...

Thanks for everything you did, may the Lord be with you and bring you peace wherever you are.

My condolences to the family of Katie. I am a soldier at Fort Hood, though I do not know Katie, I have had friends depart to Iraq. A few of them have not come back. I do have information of a plaque that a nurse has done through the request from another soldier. that soldier has departed the army so the nurse has no way of getting hold of katie's family members to send them that special plaque. i can be reached at gawdalmighty2004@yahoo.com

May you rest eternally Katie! We loved you very much and you are greatly missed by us all. I'm sorry you had to go so soon, but hopes are that you are in a better place... Miss ya' K-dawg

I lived right next to Katie and ever since she's been gone its like something missing in my life! My aunt Britney was her best friend so i've none Katie since i was born! I still love and miss Katie so much!!! R.I.P Katie! You will never be forgotten with all my heart and love to Katie, Sierra

for the information of the readers, pfc soenkson was not killed while transporting office supplies. she was involved with training iraqi forces to be able to take over control of their own country, and was killed while patroling one of the most dangerous neighborhood in bagdad. dont express your ingorance by assuming women are only allowed to deliver staplers

Though you will be greatly missed here, god has chosen one of his few to come sit at his side for a purpose that only one knows. Loved ones time is unknown and it is so hard but she is in the best place she could ever be. She is just waiting for yous and then what a day that will be for all of yous!!!!! MAY GOD GOD BE WITH YOU ALL !

God bless you and I hope to see you in Heaven. you have more courage than so many men in america and as an american male who hasn't been, I thank you for your selfless sacrifice from the bottom of my heart.

How awful it is to take someone who is so full of pride and honor to serve their country and then cost them their life just to provide security for a convoy transporting office equipment to a high ranking officer. I hope his office equipment went with Katie. Regardless of why you were sent on that mission, you were following orders and died a hero. I am deeply saddened by the news of your death, what a terrible waste. I wish someone would send a message to these idiots that our soldiers are not expendable for their own personal gain. RIP Katie

Our condolences to a true hero

peace be with you katie and your family.

Katie, We all love and miss you! You will never be forgotten!!

Peace be with you. May the Lord confort your love ones
