This online exhibit is a companion to the Women's Memorial's
newest special exhibit, A New Generation of Warriors, honoring
the servicewomen of Enduring and Iraqi Freedom.
The exhibit speaks to the wartime experiences
of these women through the memorabilia of 101st Airborne Division soldier
CPL Jessica Ellis, who was killed in action on May 11, 2008, in Baghdad,
Iraq. CPL Ellis, a medic, was on her second tour in Iraq when multiple
EFP warheads struck her vehicle and she died of wounds suffered in the
attack.
