She was pulled back to the base because of not being allowed in direct combat action? That's strange since she was able to leave the base. She could have stayed in the general area and just been removed from the hot spot. Sounds like her chain of command freaked out and sent her back for 'safe-keeping'... or was she simply returning to base for routine medical/psyche eval that is available on base? This doesn't seem very clear to me. Isn't there something better we could put here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blueberrymaiden ( talk • contribs) 02:06, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
I think the fact that she was forced to return from deployment back stateside (the US) should be included. This is very unusual. For example someone that took shrapnel in the neck was given the option to return, by they took the option to stay. Sure, she wasn't 'supposed' to be going on those kinds of missions with them, but sending her out of the country was not a normal logical response. This over reaction is a bit of information that could have historical value in the future. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blueberrymaiden ( talk • contribs) 02:52, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
While on anti-vandaism patrol, I noticed that a user at IP address 80.90.168.170 added a letter pretending to be written by Monica Lin Brown. The user wrote in incorrect English and signed in what looks like Arabic. I reverted the changes. I propose to block the IP address. Please discuss.

Under Army Decorations and badges, it has listed "Presidential Unit Citation", "Meritorious Unit Commendation (with bronze oak leaf cluster)" designating receiving the award twice, and "Army Superior Unit Award". I am sure there are enough people here with expertise in military citations, but I was curious - these awards are unit citations awarded to the unit. While I know you may continue to wear them so long as you were physically in the unit when they were awarded, I can not seem to find anywhere in the references where it lists these unit citations having been awarded to her personally. (also as a side note the second link - "Profiles of Women Soldiers" no longer works.)
So the question I have is, where did this info come from? Is it verifiable? Does she really have these Unit Citations, or did her unit have them?
I am still very new to wiki so please forgive me if this is better asked elsewhere. I tried to do my due diligence in looking for this info in the references, history, and other talk posts first.
