Mulan and Deborah Sampson. Deborah Sampson is one of my favorite heroes of the Revolutionary War. She and Mulan are like the same person. She dressed up as a man to fight in the war. She wasn't caught until she got injured. When she was sent home, many people shunned her for doing such a thing. Years after the war, President Washington sent her a medal of honor for her service in the war.
