Marine Sgt. Nicole Gee celebrated the joy of service just days before she was one of 13 U.S. service members killed in Thursday’s suicide bombing attack near Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport. A week ago, Gee,23, posted a photo on Instagram that showed her holding a baby at that airport. She added a simple, profound comment: „I love my job.“ The same photo was posted by the Department of Defense on Aug.21. Gee, from Sacramento, California, served as a maintenance technician with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit from Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. On her Instagram page, she described herself as a „positive mental attitude advocate.“ The locations listed on her page include California, North Carolina and „somewhere overseas.“ Another photo on Gee’s Instagram page shows her earlier in the week, on duty with her rifle next to a line of people waiting to board a transport plane.
