<div>On March 12, 2026, Major Ariana Linse Savino made the ultimate sacrifice to her country when her KC-135 Stratotanker crashed in western Iraq, supporting Operation Epic Fury.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ariana commissioned in the United States Air Force in September 2017, originally serving as a navigator on the E-8 JSTAR aircraft prior to flying the KC-135. She was a dependable leader who knew how to look out for her fellow Airmen; a dedicated friend; devoted sister and best friend to Kelaia and Zevin, and loving mom to her dogs, Zoey and Piper, who were her whole world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funds raised will be given to support her parents, Darren and Omayra, sister, Kelaia, brother, Zevin, and dogs, Zoey and Piper, while they navigate through the next chapter of their lives as well
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In addition to family support, a portion of monies raised will go towards establishing a scholarship fund supporting Latina women in aviation - something Ariana was passionate about.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any donation or share is appreciated to keep Ariana’s honor and memory alive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her smile will live on.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>(This GoFundMe has been organized by Ariana's coworkers and her family has been added as the beneficiary)
