After the explosion, which wounded five soldiers in her unit, Brown ran
through insurgent gunfire and used her body to shield wounded comrades as
mortars fell less than 100 yards away, the military said.
"I did not really think about anything except for getting the guys to a safer location and getting them taken care of and getting them out of there," Brown told The Associated Press on Saturday at a U.S. base in the eastern province of Khost.
Of course groups like the NOW doesn't have a single thing praising (or even mentioning) the accomplishments of this heroic 19 year old girl. I hope this Spc. Brown can get some celebrity and maybe a movie deal out of this experience. Get that Olivia Thirlby (the friend in Juno) to play her. They actually look kind of similar if you give Thirlby blue contacts and dye her hair blond:
