Sad that you are no longer part of the Army team. It is a relief to know at least that the truth has come out - that it was a series of events involving multiple folks and that you were not solely 100%  culpable for the tragic accident that occurred. Thank you Captain Lobach for your service and ultimate sacrifice to the US Army as a great soldier, outstanding officer and devoted aviator.

Continue to rest in peace. To the Lobach family stay strong and hold on to the great memories of your loved one.

To the ones that go up, but never come down.

To never forget the sacrifices made, doing what we love, protecting who we love. 

You'll never be forgotten.

Missing you dearly today, friend. There's so many little things I've noticed and wanted to share with you - I still collect them in your honor. I hope it's starry skies and moonlit horizons where you are. <3

I see them laugh, I see them cry,

The world is full, yet feels so bare,

I see them all, their joys, their pain,

Hi friend - I miss you so, so dearly. I became a doctor today - for the both of us. I wore a butterfly pin over my doctoral robes in your honor, my dear and kind butterfly. It felt like we both did it; I'll take you with me wherever my journey as a veterinarian goes. Thank you for being one of the inspirations for what I do, but also for who I am, as a new physician. I'll always be proud of you, and love you beyond the time I have left on earth. 

yours, ~Hannah

Beneath the Carolina sky, a star was born,

Rebecca Lobach, with dreams to adorn.

From Durham’s heart, her spirit took flight,

A warrior’s soul, ablaze with light.

Through UNC’s halls, she carved her way,

ROTC’s pride, top cadets’ array.

With biology’s grace and a pilot’s command,

She held the Black Hawk in her steady hand.

Over Potomac’s gleam, she soared so high,

Four hundred hours, her wings kissed the sky.

A captain’s rank, twice a leader bold,

Her story in courage and kindness told.

At the White House, she stood, a beacon of grace,

Social aide to presidents, with strength in her face.

Medals of honor, freedom’s embrace,

She served with a heart none could replace.

A SHARP advocate, her compassion profound,

Healing the broken, her purpose was found.

A doctor’s dream, to mend and to care,

Her future was boundless, her spirit so rare.

But January’s night stole breath from the air,

A collision of fates, too cruel, unfair.

The Black Hawk fell, with her at its helm,

Yet her legacy shines, an eternal realm.

Brilliant, fearless, a friend to all,

Her laughter, her love, still echo, still call.

In the river’s embrace, her name will not fade,

Captain Rebecca, forever a blade.For those she never met , her story’s a flame,

A stranger’s deep knowing, we honor her name.

In skies everlasting, she flies with the free,

Rebecca Lobach, our heart’s memory.
