An open invitation is extended to all veterans and their non‑veteran guests to join us for good food, spirited camaraderie, and the inspiring words of Ms. Shoshana Johnson, as we commemorate the 21st Anniversary of National Women Veterans United and celebrate Women’s History Month.
As the first Black female Prisoner of War in U.S. history, Retired Army Specialist Shoshana Johnson stands as a decorated Bronze Star Medal, Purple Heart and Prisoner of War Medal veteran and bestselling author whose memoir, I’m Still Standing: From Captured Soldier to Free Citizen — My Journey Home, offers a profound account of resilience, recovery, and an unbreakable spirit of service that resonates with generations of veterans.
