 Honoring Army Specialist Monica L. Brown, extending gratitude to her 
 and her family, and pledging continuing support for the men and women 
                   of the United States Armed Forces.

Whereas members of the United States Armed Forces were attacked by a roadside 
        bomb in the eastern Paktia province in Afghanistan on April 25, 2007;
Whereas Monica L. Brown, age 19, a Specialist in the United States Army, ran 
        through insurgent gunfire to save the lives of fellow wounded soldiers 
        injured after the roadside bomb tore through their convoy of humvees;
Whereas Brown is one of 25,109 women currently serving in the Armed Forces in 
        Afghanistan and Iraq, and one of 350,000 women serving in the United 
        States Army;
Whereas Brown is the first woman in Afghanistan and only the second female 
        member of the Armed Forces since World War II to receive the Silver 
        Star, the Nation's third-highest medal for valor; and
Whereas the thoughts and prayers of the Congress and the Nation remain with the 
        families of all the members of the Armed Forces who are fighting to 
        ensure the Nation's freedom and safety: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That Congress--
            (1) honors Monica L. Brown, a Specialist in the United 
        States Army, who risked her life to save the lives of her 
        fellow wounded soldiers while serving in the Global War on 
        Terror in Afghanistan, and recognizes her for her bravery and 
        heroism;
            (2) extends its deepest gratitude to Monica L. Brown and 
        her family in Lake Jackson, Texas; and
            (3) pledges its continued support for the men and women of 
        the United States Armed Forces.
