Army Spc. Karen N. Clifton
22, of Lehigh Acres, Fla.
assigned to the 554th Military Police Company, 95th Military Police Battalion, Kaiserslautern, Germany; died June 21 in Baghdad of wounds sustained when her vehicle was hit with a rocket-propelled grenade.
Her nickname was “Kid Rock”:
Tags: tampaClifton… was nicknamed because of her resemblance to the rock star from Detroit, and the nickname stuck because it fit… Clifton was 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighed 120 pounds, and was equally lethal with her M-4 car bine and her armored Humvee… Behind the steering wheel, the small and tough soldier was known to bang into an object or two as she manhandled her vehicle through the dangerous streets of Baghdad… “That’s just how I roll, sir,” she’d tell her team leader.

Kid rock was a one of a kind soldier who gave her life fighting for our country. She gave her all and lost her life for it. Why would you ask or say you heard that she lost her head. That is not important. Whether her head was lost or not has nothing to do with it. Let her rest in peace….

Those that new kid rock would say that she was a one of a kind soldier who left here a lost soul and who returned home a hero. She accomplished what no one thought she could. We are all really proud of her and everything she did for our country. She will forever be remembered in our hearts..
Never could or will she be forgotten….
My heart goes out to all the other soldiers who have lost their lives also fighting for our country.
