Afterwards, the media seemed to embellish the story a bit. Jessica became this American hero who had fired nonstop until using every bullet she had. For her heroism, the Army gave her the Bronze Star, POW medals and the Purple Star. Once released from the recovery center, the media hounded her. Jessica made a million dollar book deal for her biography titled, I Am A Soldier, Too: The Jessica Lynch Story. Not everyone was pleased with the tell-all of her time in Iraq.
