I'm very proud of this young woman, not only for her courage as an individual, but for the way she and her sisters in combat (helicopter pilots, combat medics, military police, and transportation specialists) have demonstrated that women are as capable of courage, coolness under fire, and selfless devotion to their duties as men.

Right on, sister!

Spc. Monica Brown, 19, a Lake Jackson, Texas, is a true hero!



From A Proud Vietnam Veteran

Well done SP4 Brown!

Out *%#$%@ standing!

Medics and Corpsmen have always been my personal heroes...and you show us why!

She's not only the second woman to get the Silver Star since WWII but the first woman to have three threads on her on the same forum ...

In that this is SPC Brown’s third thread and I have commended her on each thread, I will take note that you are showing you age by calling her a SP4. Now if you were am “old soldier” you may have call a SP3 - that was back in my days. And if you were a “really old soldier” you may have called her a T4 -like back in my big brother’s days.

But no matter what, we are all proud to have this brave young lady serving in today’s army.

At least that’s the way, IMN2BHO, this old soldier and proud Coast Guard dad sees it!

The American Legion has a salute and a drink waiting for. HOOOOHA Post 192

I have served with many medics and from what i read here she is definitely a hero in my eyes. Women in combat roles these days does show they are more than capable to handle themselves very well. Spc Brown, I salute you for your outstanding actions under extreme situations. Congrats to you for recieving the Silver Star!

She has done a tremendous job and she deserves a huge kegger thrown for her.

Local radio station (WFLA-970 - Tampa) reported that she will not be allowed back in a comback situation becaus of the female-non combat rule. Has any one else heard that?

Simply outstanding
