Julianna Gehant, 32, was from Mendota and was studying elementary education "She was very serious in some ways, but again, fun loving. She got along well with the group. Army was a big part of her life but she still was going to school. She was 32 years old and she kept the pressure on. She went to school at a later age to better herself. I know everybody liked her." - Jon Lehuta, adviser to the NIU Veterans Club
