Story
SGT Hemphill was a 92 Y U.S. Army supply sergeant. One day SGT Hemphill had to inventory the personal belongings of one of her Soldiers who had recently killed themselves in there living quarters during a deployment to Iraq. When she entered the room she could see brain splatter on the walls of where her soldier had killed himself. After inventorying all of his belongings SGT Hemphill remembers returning back to the United States and as she was turning in her soldier who passed aways M16 A2 rifle she could still see his blood on the weapon. From that moment she states that she could never forget that moment and it lives with her every day. The Soldier had placed the weapon in his mouth and blew his own brains out. SGT Hemphill was the direct supervisor of this now deceased Soldier. Other lives where in danger because the bullet could have gone through the walls of the other Soldiers rooms. This incident happened only once.
Exposure to a dead body, SGT Hemphill did not witness the trauma personally but did have to clean her Soldier’s belongings and make sure his belongings returned home to his family.
This incident happened when SGT Hemphill was just 23 and deployed to Iraq, she is now 38 and states that the death of her soldier committing suicide is harder for her now than when she was 23. There isn’t a day that goes by that she does not think of her Soldier.
