It’s hard for most of us to imagine what it would be like to be a prisoner in a foreign country and suffering severe pain. Johnson gained national attention as America’s first black female POW. She was a cook in the 507th maintenance Company Convoy ambushed on March 23,2003 in Nasiriyah,Iraq and captured with 5 other soldiers including Jessica Lynch. Johnson’s story is inspiring because thoughout her captivity she & her fellow prisoners showed a great amount of courage.
