After Michelle Witmer was killed in combat in Iraq, on April 9, 2004, her sisters of whom were also in the military wondered if they should return back to Iraq, after a time of leave. They decided to not go back. Her sisters, Charity and Rachel, remember the closeness that they developed with their unit and felt that they could not let them down. They felt a sense of camaraderie; however, they felt that they would not have been able to hold it together for their unit and felt they may have a meltdown.
