On this Veterans Day, we remember Harriet Tubman's time in the military. She served as a Union cook, nurse, spy, and armed scout in the Civil War – and led the Combahee Ferry Raid that led to the freeing of more than 700 enslaved people. One year ago, she was posthumously commissioned as a brigadier general by the Maryland National Guard.
