Not everyone who dies for their country does so in combat.

She may never have seen a day's combat or held a gun, but she chose to serve her country and died as a result of it. She deserved to be remembered.

When I was in the Navy in 1982, a recruit in the class above ours collapsed and died right after completing his "freedom run" - the last PT test before graduation.

And when my Dad was in training during World War II, the soldier in front of him was killed by the freak mishap of two bullets colliding in the air directly over him during a live fire training exercise. 

Military life is risky, then and now.

RIP
