Sgt. Johanny Rosario Pichardo

Her Story

Sgt. Johanny Rosario Pichardo, 25, of Lawrence, Massachusetts, was assigned to 5th Marine Expeditionary Brigade, Naval Support Activity Bahrain.

“Her service was not only crucial to evacuating thousands of women and children, but epitomizes what it means to be a Marine: putting herself in danger for the protection of American values so that others might enjoy them,” Marine 1st Lt. John “Jack” Coppolasaid told the Boston Globe Saturday in a statement. “She is a hero, and her legacy will never be forgotten.”
