NEW YORK — Nearly a year after being shot and taken prisoner in Iraq, former Army specialist Shoshana Johnson (search) said the 22 days she spent in captivity do not make her a hero.
"I'm a survivor, not a hero," Johnson told Essence magazine in its March issue. "The heroes are the soldiers who paid the ultimate price and the Marines who risked their lives to rescue us. ... They took a chance and because they did, I'm here."
