CAMP AS SAYLIYAH, Qatar - Frightened and seriously wounded, a 19-year-old supply clerk who was held by Iraq for more than a week at first hid under a sheet when a team of U.S. military commandos stormed into her hospital room.
"Jessica Lynch," called out an American soldier, approaching her bed. "We are United States soldiers and we're here to protect you and take you home."
Peering from behind the sheet as he removed his helmet, she looked up and said, "I'm an American soldier, too."

I'm so proud of Jessie I could bust! Only 19 years old and she survived those animals.
I hope she's good as new asap!
