Throughout American history, women have served the United States military in many ways. From caretakers to spies, pilots and soldiers, each and every one has committed to the cause in their own way. Some received national recognition on a grandiose scale- others, not so much.
One such woman who did not receive a lot of notoriety is Specialist Shoshana Johnson, the first African-American female prisoner of war, who was captured alongside PFC Jessica Lynch in the Iraq War.
