Today my walk was dedicated in honor of:
Army CPL Rachael L. Hugo, Age 24 of Madison, WI.
KIA Oct. 5, 2007 Operation Iraqi Freedom
She was assigned to the 303rd Military Police Company, 97th Military Police Battalion, 89th Military Police Brigade, U.S. Army Reserve, Jackson, MI.
The Defense Department said Oct. 6 she died Oct. 5 when insurgents attacked her unit using an improvised explosive device and small-arms fire.
Hugo had been working toward a bachelor’s degree in nursing at Viterbo University in La Crosse before she was deployed to Iraq.
Her job in Iraq was a Combat Medic.
She is buried in the Roselawn Memorial Park, Dane County, Wisconsin
We had an amazing walk this morning. We walked over by Holiday Hills Lake and we could hear the geese but was dark so I couldn’t get a photo. We then walked to Myrtle Ave. and over to Lantana road and took Miller Bypass to 127. We came up main street and stopped by the War Memorial Park down town and then continued our way back home. I want to thank my friend Robert for walking with us today and I want to thank all who honked, waved, and saluted in helping us honor this hero.
Army CPL Rachael L. Hugo will not be forgotten !
NOTE: I want to thank Express Lunch and TriGreen equipment for flying our beautiful colors.
