In this special series we celebrate Women's History Month and honor the service of women veterans and their contributions to American military history. In this final episode of our series, we honor Shoshana Johnson, the first Black woman POW in U.S. history. Her story is often overshadowed by media attention given to others, but her determination and resilience is inspirational. We also recognize the contributions of other women who took advantage of ever-expanding roles for women in the modern military to carve out careers and rise to leadership positions.
