Emily Jazmin Tatum Perez was a West Point Graduate. While serving in Iraq, she was Killed In Action by an Improvised Explosive Device on September 12, 2006.
She was born in Heidelberg, Germany in 1983 into a military family. Her father served in the Army, and Perez spent the majority of her childhood in Germany until the family returned to the United States in 1998.
She excelled in high school and became the captain of the track team. She volunteered at her local church where she founded an HIV/AIDS program and worked with the Red Cross. In 2001, she graduated from Oxon Hill High School, Maryland in the top 10% of her class and accepted an appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point.
She became a 2nd Lieutenant and was the first Black female cadet Brigade Command Sgt. Major of West Point and was a member of the West Point "Class of 9/11": the class that entered the U.S. Military Academy immediately after the attacks of September 11, 2001.
She became the first Black Female officer in U.S. military history to die in combat and the first female graduate of West Point to die in Iraq.
The video documenting why she chose to serve in the Army and in combat has been deleted by the Army under the Trump Administration.
Erasing her from the collective memory of America will not be tolerated. Say Her Name! Circulate her beautiful smiling picture. You will not be forgotten, Lieutenant! Thank you for your service! Credit essay: Dorothy Pullen


I'd like to learn about Arlien Tatum. I haven't been able to find her in the census or any other records. Spelling of her name seems to be correct even though it's unusual.

I did a web search for a Garrison School in Kansas or Oklahoma and there seem to be several. I have written to one. There are also others across the US and Canada. I can't guarantee which one it might be. If anyone can tell me, I would be delighted. I hope the names will give a clue to someone. Also, it may be in the same district or county as a “Cleaveland School” which is mentioned on one of the class photos.
