- The Silver Star at just 18 Years old: (Then) Private First Class Monica Lin Brown served as a medic in Army. She deployed to Afghanistan at the age of 18 with the 4th Squadron, 73d Cavalry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division. When her convoy came under attack on April 25, 2007, she braved explosions and enemy fire to treat the wounded. One vehicle hit an IED and exploded. Brown moved through small arms fire to the vehicle and began moving casualties away from the wreckage. She treated them only 15 meters from the burning vehicle. Enemy mortars began falling around, and ammo inside the vehicle started cooking off.
Shrapnel and bullets filled the air all around from incoming enemy mortars and exploding friendly mortar rounds, 40mm grenades, and 5.56 ammo on the truck. Other soldiers arriving discovered that, miraculously, Brown was still alive. They moved her and the wounded to another area, where Brown continued her treatment and preparations for medevac.
For her courage and unselfishness remaining with the wounded and protecting them amidst the most dangerous conditions, Brown was awarded the Silver Star. The ceremony came a year after the action and her promotion to Specialist.

(Ret.) Ralph Puckett, who dedicated his life to encouraging American Soldiers everywhere to tap into the potential within and challenging them to make the Army better. There are no words for the impact that Col. Puckett has made on the Rangers. Rather, it is visibly apparent when you walk the halls of the Regiment, visit training, or conduct physical fitness. Col. Puckett preached the fundamentals, elite fitness, and never being satisfied. You can find his imprint in our Blue Book, which contains the high standards we aim to meet and exceed every day. You’ll find his picture throughout our halls reminding us to, “be proud, but never satisfied.” Sir, we are filled with gratitude for your commitment and for the effort and energy that you poured into our beloved Rangers every day. Till we meet again. #rltw"2,393 likes, 7 comments - the_75th_ranger_regimentApril 19, 2024 on : "Saturday, Apr. 20, 2024, at 11 a.m., we will celebrate the life of Medal of Honor recipient, warfighter, and Ranger icon, Col.
