Speeches 2003

July 4, 2003

Taped Greeting from Operation Iraqi Freedom POW Shoshana Johnson

Thank you very much for your love, your support, and especially your prayers. I also want to thank you for inviting me to your 4th of July celebration in Panama. I regret not being able to attend because I have another commitment. I am proud to have been born in Panama and to be from the United States. I am also very proud of my heritage and my culture, although I wear the military uniform of the United States. I hope I will be able to visit my native country in the near future. Thank you very much and God bless you all.
