Grad’s death brings reality of war home By BRIAN HUGHES bhughes@randb.com As Janet Henderson flipped through a cluttered scrapbook Wednesday night, one photo caught her eye. Henderson was reviewing photos of her daughter and University alumna, 1st Lt. Ashley Henderson-Huff, and describing them in a phone interview when she paused. Her voice started to break as she described the image of Henderson-Huff surveying an open field in Irbil, Iraq. It was taken the day her daughter was killed by a road side bomb. On that sunny Sept. 19, Henderson-Huff, 23, found the site for her “dream proj ect,” Janet said. That dream project, a $15 million training center for Iraqi police, is now in its plan ning phase thanks to Henderson-Huff’s efforts, her mother said. For the past two years, contractors in Irbil unsuc cessfully lobbied for the cen ter. But the project was set in motion after Henderson-Huff arrived on the scene, Janet said. “Ashley was a born leader,” Janet said in a telephone interview from her Buford home. “She never took one day for granted and lived her life with a magnificent pur pose.” Once the project is com plete, a monument will be constructed outside the train ing center in Henderson- Huff’s honor, Janet said. Henderson-Huff was killed a month after her one-year anniversary in August with Brian Huff of Savannah. Maj. Tim Hoch, executive officer of the University ROTC, said Henderson- Huff’s death brought the reality of war closer to home. But more important, what she accomplished at such a young age served as an exam ple for soldiers-in-training, he said. Hoch said there will be a memorial service for Henderson-Huff next semes ter and a room named in her honor inside the ROTC build ing once her family is ready. Photo courtesy Janet Henderson A 1st Lt.
