Come on... If this was a man, they give him a pat on the back and liberty from standing watch for a night.

A very brave person. I know her parents worry about her all the time, and they must be so proud of her. It is wonderful to see a young person so willing to save others ( and to be able to do it ).

There is a difference. That is the Airborne way... Paratroopers possesses the intangible something that others do not understand and do not care to have. No mere words can convey the motivation, dedication and the devotion of the Airborne Soldier. She made us proud. She wasn’t just a soldier, She is a Paratrooper. There is a difference.

As a former Division trooper, I could not be more proud of SPC Brown's courage and commitment to her fellow troopers. I hope that other women in the Division and across the armed services will take some inspiration from her story! Well done, and a hearty AIRBORNE! to SPC Brown as she is recognized by the Division.
