Army Staff Sgt. Clamens was assigned to the 1st Postal Platoon, 834th Adjutant General Company, Miami. She died of wounds sustained when insurgents fired rockets at Camp Victory from a nearby abandoned school. No one will ever forget Lillian – the funny, quirky mother of three. She graduated in 1990 from Central High School, quickly joined the Army Reserve for 17 years but then decided she wanted to serve active duty. Lillian eventually returned to the Army Reserve and worked as a full time postal worker and administrative clerk for the unit. She loved her job because she could directly help soldiers by making sure their transitions from the United States to Iraq and home again went smoothly. Lillian had an infectious smile and a bright personality - she made friends for life and always had a smile on her face. She was to return to her husband, Raymond, two daughters and son within a week. Lillian would want people to remember that she died doing what she wanted to do – she loved helping the soldiers and their families.
