Description:
Dr Rhonda Cornum was one of the first generation of women to serve on the frontline in the first Gulf War. Captured and tortured by the Iraqi army, it was her ability to withstand these experiences that convinced her of the importance of teaching resilience to today's serving soldiers. Less than a week after retiring as assistant US Surgeon General, she's been speaking about resilience training in London. She told Forces News that when she was shot down as part of a rescue mission in 1991 she was certain she was going to die.

Feb 10, 2012 - I'll pass on Katie price and Lady Ga ga, this woman is MY role model! I heard her talking on radio 4 on Wednesday morning and have just ordered her autobiography 'she went to war'.This is the sort of woman we need to see and hear more of as role models. I know I can learn a huge amount from her.
