Our Hero Rachael Corrie was crushed to death on March 16, 2003 by an Israeli military bulldozer while trying to prevent a Palestinian owned house from being demolished in the Rafah refugee camp, southern Gaza Strip. Rachel's sacrifice will never be forgotten and her memory will live on forever in the hearts and minds of the Palestinian people who are deeply touched by her untiring efforts to help to protect them. We offer our Prayer that Dear Rachel will rest in Peace. Long Live the Free and the Braves of this world.

. First step is communication. Let us all communicate through PACUSA yahoo group.
Please, join us all.
. Finally, do not forget the people of Palestine, our journey to freedom and independent state looks very long and hilly. We will always need your help and support.
Remember what Rachael Corrie wrote once: �The international media and our government are not going to tell us that we are effective, important, justified in our work, courageous, intelligent, valuable. We have to do that for each other, and one way we can do that is by continuing our work, visibly. People without privilege will be doing this work no matter what, because they are working for their lives. We can work with them, and they know that we work with them, or we can leave them to do this work themselves and curse us for our complicity in killing them.� Rachael Corrie.
