Omega Honors Black Female P.O.W.

[DoggyStyle82]

The Brothers of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., Sigma Tau Chapter, El Paso,
Tx. had the honor of meeting Ms Shoshona Johnson last week. She is one of the
most humble individuals you would ever want to meet. During our visit, she
constantly thanked everyone for their Prayers. Furthermore, she reminded
everyone to continue their prayers for others.

The Brothers established a "Perserverance Award" in her honor. Ms. Shoshona
is the First African-American Female prisoner of war, POW to my knowledge. We need
to recognize her. The media is setting the stage to make Jessica Lynch, the
"HERO". Where is the fairness?
