Spc. Adriana Nicole Salem

I was in AIT with her. She was motivated and took initiative. We miss her everyday. RIP Battle.

To the Family of a Great Soldier.

When she fell, she was a real Soldier. People who had come back since then, have left being a soldier. They just have gotten comfortable again at home or have moved on to different jobs. But not Salem. She is still a soldier. Only waiting for us all to follow. To finally join her. The big reunion. I miss her. I wonder how many of us from that day she fell
keep coming back to this page. How many of us are united because of her memory. I think...

I miss Salem. She and I didn't talk too much when we were stateside. But we'd just wave at each other, like casually. We were in different platoons. One night in Iraq she asked me for a hug. I embraced my sister. It was hard for me to put my arms all the way around her as she was ladened down with all the weight of her body armor and weapon. As we call it, she was," Full Battle Rattle". We didn't talk much but we were family out there. The next day was the day she left us... I'll never...

To the family and friends of Spc. Adriana N. Salem:
It has truly been my honor to sign Adriana's guest book these past few years. Unfortunately, due to complications from my Multiple Sclerosis, this may be the last message I'm able to write. Please forgive me and know that Adriana will always be remembered in my home.
With love and respect ~ Peggy

This is Ross Brown, DJ from Adriana's 3rd ID Homecoming Ball. I was thinking of you, your family and Adriana's service.. I just want you to know that I remember meeting you and Adriana's Sisters. I just want you to know that years later, someone who never met Adriana continues to think about all of your sacrifices. Stay Strong.

Just want to say to the family that she was a great soldier and i often think of her and the way she was . We was station at ft stewart together and we was in the same unit when she was killed i say to the family she will always be in my mind and thoughts Sgt Robert E. Johnson , a friend gone but not forgotten

I don't know how to work the internet. I just figured it out. She was a good friend. We were in 8th Ord together. I found out what happened to her. She was so nice. I am proud to call her a sister of Arms.

I love you and miss you so much.
