| Security Forces Killed In Action: A1C Elizabeth Jacobson | ||||
| Killed In Action in Iraq | ||||
|
|
Airman Jacobson was killed on a convoy near Camp Bucca, Iraq, on Sept. 28, 2005 when her vehicle was hit by an improvised explosive device. She is the first female Airman killed in the line of duty supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom. | |||
| Airman Jacobson had been in Iraq for just over three months. "A1C Jacobson was a great troop...always sought the hardest challenges and never gave up. She worked very hard to get on the convoy section and had only been working it for a couple of weeks when the incident occurred. She was a bright and intelligent young lady who cared deeply for her country and the military." | ||||
