Shoshana Nyree Johnson is a Panamanian-born former United States Soldier and the first black female prisoner of war in the military history of the United States. Shoshana was a Specialist of the U.S. Army 507th Maintenance Company, 5/52 ADA BN, 11th ADA Brigade.

During the Battle of Nasiriyah, she suffered bullet wounds to both of her ankles and was captured by Iraqi forces. She was held prisoner in Iraq for 22 days along with five other members of her unit. She was freed in a rescue mission conducted by the United States Marine Corps units on April 13, 2003.

Shoshana will be joining us on November 11, 2022, to share her story, experiences, her book, answer your questions and celebrate her heroism. You will be able to hear her speak, purchase her book, and network with other Veterans in our community.

There will be 2 sets of tickets you have the opportunity to purchase VIP tickets and general admission tickets. VIP tickets will grant you early entry to meet Shoshana, take photos, a swag bag and receive a signed copy of her book. We look forward to seeing you here to not only meet Shoshana but to honor her during Veteran's Day.
