Days before her death, Sgt. Nicole Gee posted a photo on her Instagram page that showed her cradling a baby in her arms at Kabul airport.
"I love my job," she captioned the image.
Gee, 23, and 25-year-old Sgt. Johanny Rosario Pichardo were the only women among the 13 U.S. troops killed in a suicide bombing at Kabul airport on Thursday, which also claimed the lives of more than 160 Afghans.
Islamic State militants have claimed responsibility for the attack, which came amid a massive evacuation following the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan.
