Female US soldier who was rescued with with much fanfare during the 2003 invasion of Iraq

Jessica Dawn Lynch is a former United States Army soldier who served in the 2003 invasion of Iraq as a private first class. She was serving in a logistics unit when her convoy was ambushed by Iraqi troops during the Battle of Nasiriyah. Lynch was seriously injured during the offensive and captured by Iraqi soldiers shortly afterwards.[1]


Her subsequent recovery by U.S. special operations forces on April 1, 2003, received considerable media coverage [2] as it was the first successful rescue of an American prisoner of war since World War II and the first ever of a woman.
