In Iraq, the front line is everywhere...and everywhere in
Iraq, women in the U.S. military fight. More than 155,000 of
them have served in Iraq since 2003--four times the number
of women sent to Desert Storm in 1991--and more than 430
have been wounded and over 70 killed, almost twice the
number of U.S. military women killed in action in Korea,
Vietnam, and Desert Storm combined. Band of Sisters presents
twelve amazing and often heart-wrenching stories of American
women in the frontlines including America_s first female
pilot to be shot down and survive, the U.S. military_s first
black female combat pilot, a 21-year-old turret gunner
defending a convoy, two military policewomen in a firefight,
a nurse struggling to save lives, including her own and more.
