Quotes

Lynch became an international cause celebre in the days and weeks after her rescue. But, in her 2004 book, "i am a soldier, too: the jessica lynch story" and in her 2007 testimony before Congress, Lynch said the story told in the news media was only partly true
...courage was undoubtedly a source of inspiration and strength for all veterans and their families he met throughout the country," Lynch said. "he will tell you it was just a small sacrifice to honor the commitment of our veterans, many of whom returned broken or did not return at all. but jamie sacrificed so much to ensure america's veterans were appropriately honored. he made a life-changing decision and, in turn, he changed so many lives."
