Shero was the second woman among more than 30 U.S. troops who have been killed in direct combat or died in accidents in and around Afghanistan in support of the U.S.-led war against al Qaeda militants and Taliban fighters.

The first female casualty was one of seven Marine Corps crew members of a KC-130 refueling aircraft that crashed in Pakistan on January 9.

I was working here in my command post in Uzbekistan supporting OEF when I heard about this incident. I dont personally know any of the 3 that were killed in the crash but I feel the pain of their loss. I've been here since February, and have seen more than I want of unfortunate incidents like this. I'm proud of them, and I will remember what they did to defend freedom forever. They paid the ultimate price while defending their country in a far away and desolate land. I will be sad, but I'll smile because they made a difference.

God bless them and carry them home safely.
