Every woman that has ever served in the military has done so voluntarily, yet their merits and achievements commonly remain unknown and unsung. "Heroinas Anonimas: La Historia de Patriotas Americanas," an original production by Maryland Public Television (MPT), tells the stories of some of the bravest women in the history of the United States, including Mildred Manning, the last surviving Prisoner of War from World War II and Lieutenant Colonel Nicole Malachowski, the first female Thunderbird Pilot.
