Olivia Segura, the mother of fallen Illinois Army National Guard Spc. Ashley Sietsema, enjoys the view during the Chicago Fire Boat Architectural Tour on Lake Michigan and the Chicago River. On November 12, 2007, Spc. Ashley Sietsema, 20, of Melrose Park, Illinois, was killed died from wounds suffered when the vehicle she was in was involved in an accident in Kuwait City, Kuwait. Sietsema was assigned to the 708th Medical Battalion, based in North Riverside, Illinois. The boat tour was led by Maj. Gen. Rodney Boyd, the Adjutant General of the State of Illinois and Commander of the Illinois National Guard, and organized by the U.S. Army's Survivor Outreach Services and the Illinois National Guard for the 34 Illinois National Guard Gold Star Families whose service members were killed overseas since the September 11, 2001 terror attacks. This year, the tour was opened to Gold Star families whose family members served on active duty or in the Reserves. The tour gave the Gold Star Families time to connect with one other and with the leadership of the Illinois National Guard.
