Uwezo Wa kipaji is paying a speacial tribute to a fine soldier who gave her life for the sake of freedom to many not only in the United States of America but to the free world at large.
Thalia S. Ramirez, 28, and another soldier identified as Chief Warrant Officer 2 Jose L. Montenegro Jr., 31, of Houston died in a helicopter crash on Sept. 5, in Logar Province, Afghanistan, of injuries suffered when their aircraft crashed.
Her great passion for helicopters and the army led her to enlist in the U.S. army shortly after coming to the United States.
She earned OH-58D Kiowa Warrior aviator qualification in 2008, and was assigned to the 82nd CAB in 2009. This was her second deployment.
“She was a true quiet professional, and an incredible role model to so many,” said U.S. Army Lt. Col. Landy Dunham, commander, Task Force Talon, 82nd CAB, 82nd Airborne Division. “Thalia never failed to set the perfect example of a confident and competent warrior. She was fearless, and loved her job. She selflessly risked everything, on a regular basis, in defense of her brothers and sisters in arms.”
Ramirez is survived by her husband, Jesse Belbeck in the United States, and mother and father, Justin Ramirez and Alexandra Moll, in Kenya.
Our heartfelt condolences to Family n friend. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends, John 15:13.
