Sgt. Johanny Rosario Pichardo
Surrounded by thousands trying to escape the Taliban, Sgt. Pichardo gave her life at Abby gate on Aug. 26, 2021, trying to secure safe passage out of Afghanistan for thousands of women and children. She was one of 13 young soldiers who died for their country that day during the USA’s hasty withdrawal. Johnny did what heroes are called to do. Serve and protect.
She is hailed as a hero and the Congressional Medal of Honor was bestowed upon her.
