What’s the backstory on this?

Independence Day, the movie:

"ID4"

Easy enough to research along with Rachel NV, which BTW is the location of the "pillar" of Rachel's grave to this day.

This particular backstory is less apparent:

Not that she was buried there, but Rachel was the baby born in the tiny town, so they named the place after her.

But later the family moved to Moses Lake, WA, which is only a little way from Ephrata. 2 year old Rachel died shortly after the eruption of Mt. Saint Helens, of respiratory distress, laborious breathing as it were.

Two years old. She was buried in ID, but there's a pillar/momument/memorial to her in Rachel, NV.

Rachel Jones

Birth
15 Feb 1978
Rachel, Lincoln County, Nevada, USA

Death
24 May 1980 (aged 2)

Burial
Little Butte Cemetery
Annis*, Jefferson County, Idaho, USA

In Rachel, NV:

There's a "time capsule" and backstory in there all right, which is not of this world.

*ANN-niss, like the American English pronunciation of the star that is called anise.

(Just thought I'd throw that detail in for ya, Daf.)

Couple more questions (since I’ve never seen the movie). So the ID4 plaque shown in your picture outside of that alien themes motel is the spot where the girl was buried? I had to search what ID4 had to do with Independence Day (The Movie). I assumed maybe there was an Independence Day Part 4 or something. Not sure what the correlation of the girl that died and the movie or if they are related at all? What does the plaque say on the ID4 picture you posted? Have you ever been to that motel and would you recommend their continental breakfast?
