California Humanities's video: War Comes Home: Michelle Dallocchio

Michelle Dallocchio is an artist, author, Chamorro/Mariana Islander, and Iraq War U.S. Army Veteran. As a member in 2004-05 of Team Lioness, an all-female unit that performed house raids and personnel searches in Ramadi, she was one of the first U.S. women to serve in a combat role officially. “How I would want to be welcomed (back) if I could go back in time and experience things differently? It would have been nice if somebody would have just listened to me. The people who’ve experienced it first-hand have the answers within themselves.” War Comes Home was a statewide initiative of California Humanities supported in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act, administered in California by the State Librarian.
