We Honor and Remember:

Picture
SSgt Aaron Nelson Brown
Hometown: Ridgefield Park, NJ
Age: 32
Died: April 1, 2007
Branch/Unit: Air Force, 4th Medical Operations Squadron, Seymour Johnson AFB, SC

We remember Air Force Staff Sgt. Aaron Nelson Brown who gave his life on April 1, 2007.

Because of his service as an aerospace medical technician for the 4th Medical Operations Squadron, countless men and women are thankful for the medical support Aaron provided. He bravely and unselfishly answered his nation's call to defend freedom and protect the nation and its allies.

Early in life, Brown began molding his leadership skills by serving in Ridgefield Park, Boy Scout Troop 7, and the Palisades Park Sea Scouts. He served his Neighborhood Reform Church and volunteered as an ambulance corps member as an adult.

His dedication to the Air Force and his community are a testament to the core values we strive to uphold. In memory of Brown, we honor his mother and father, Kristin Mooney and Leonard Brown.

By Kish Airman Leadership School Class 11-G Kish Airman Leadership School.

JOINT BASE MCGUIRE-DIX-LAKEHURST, N.J.  –   We, Kish Airman Leadership School Class 11-G, ask you to remember those lost in Operations ENDURING FREEDOM and IRAQI FREEDOM. We ask you to honor our Gold Star Families whose son or daughter made the eternal sacrifice in service to our nation. While our own service may seem difficult at times, parents of service-members endure challenges and struggles only known to mothers and fathers. Having a child is allowing your heart to walk outside of your own body.

In the words of Linda Wooten, "Being a mother is learning about strengths you didn't know you had and dealing with fears you didn't know existed."

We know the sacrifices Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, Airmen and Coast Guardsmen make when they commit to service and when they lay down their life for freedom; however, we do not always recognize their families' sacrifices.

Parents know in the back of their minds the possibility of what can happen when their sons and daughters go off to war. The Gold Star parents carry on and continue to serve in memory of their loved ones, our heroes. We must always remember our fallen brothers and sisters in arms and honor their Gold Star mothers and fathers.
