Iraq

While the national memorial goes through a lengthy planning and fundraising process, veterans are working with state and local governments to build smaller monuments around the country.

Army Specialist Shoshana Johnson was traveling in a convoy in Iraq in 2003 when her vehicle was attacked. Iraqi forces killed 11 soldiers in her company and captured six, including Johnson. She was held for 22 days, becoming the first Black female prisoner of war in American history.

From an eager recruit to a conscientious objector, Clifton Hicks recalls how his deployment to Iraq in 2003 fundamentally changed his relationship to the military.

Normally, Congress waits at least ten years after a war ends to authorize a monument. But supporters say a proposed "Global War on Terrorism" memorial should be built now.
