Lori Piestewa was the first Native American that died in the Iraq campaign to remove Iraq dictator ~ Saddam Hussien. I was blessed to be tuned to Extreme Makeover; where Ty Pennington, lead a crew of volunteers in buiding a home for Lorie's family and a community center on the same site for Native American Veterans. ![](http://doney.net/aroundaz/celebrity/DA_piestewahome2.jpg) The site was donated and the peak of the mountain has a special marker immortalizing Lori. My goose bumps gets goose bumps reminiscing this special project and tribute to Native American Lori Piestewa. ![](http://doney.net/aroundaz/celebrity/DA_piestewa_peak.jpg) The Lori Ann Piestewa Sunrise Memorial Service took place at 6:30 AM on March 23, 2005 at a ramada at the base of Piestewa Peak.
