The U.S. soldier killed last week in a car crash in Kaiserslautern had dreams of making the Army a career. Sgt. Monesha L. Burton was profiled in an Army-produced feature last year for her work as a veterinary food inspector during the pandemic. Her family ties influenced her to join the Army in 2016, she said. “My dad, uncle and cousins all served. I was inspired by everything they did,” she said. “Right now, I plan on doing 20 years.” Burton,22, died Friday from injuries she sustained in a car crash near Kleber Kaserne and Daenner Kaserne. German police said Burton collided with another car that had the right-of-way at the intersection.
