Pfc. Monica Brown - Modern Day Women’s Rights
I’m really surprised that this story is not getting more attention. Imagine being in the middle of a hail of bullets, receiving a Silver Star for your bravery, but then being told that you shouldn’t have been there in the first place. That’s what happened to PFC. Monica Brown, an 18 year old medic who grabbed her bag and ran through a hail of a gunfire to help her fellow male soldiers in a disabled and burning vehicle.
Shortly thereafter, Vice President Cheney pinned PFC. Brown with a silver star for her bravery. Now, she’s being told that she shouldn’t have been there anyway.
Note: She gets to keep the Silver Star
