If I recall correctly, Jessica Lynch, had a lot of hoopla made over her and was recognized with a homecoming that was in Elizabethtown, WV paid for and supported by West Virginians. Yes, the press was there and anyone else who wanted to come. Shoshana Johnson returned along with her buddies to a "nationally" paid for and supported welcoming. I remember it being very big with all the networks breaking into programs and some making it a special program in itself. I'll never forget their lap around the tarmac in the oversized golf cart with one very eager and enthusiastic guy who I just fell in love with. It was a very proud and heart wrenching momment that most of America had to be watching.

It is not as if these men and women were not given a big welcome home. As for Shoshana, I would be right in front of the TV if she chooses to tell her story. I'm just as interested in her and those guys as I was Jessica.

As for Shoshana, I would be right in front of the TV if she chooses to tell her story.

Shoshana, Patrick Miller, and two of their fellow soldiers told their story on
an NBC DateLine show a month or two ago.

All four comported themselves VERY professionally in telling their story...no bragging,
but you got the whole story.

As for the Lynch made-for-TV movie, I was pleasantly suprised that it really was
almost mostly centered on the Iraqi lawyer who ran the risks to make the rescue possible.
Unfortunately, the show didn't go much into Shosohana and friends struggle, but
you do see a black lady-soldier (I guess Shoshana) get the leg wounds...made me wince
and groan for sure.
