1. CPO Adam Lee Brown (Military Hall of Honor).
Excerpt: On 17 March 2010, Chief Petty Officer Adam Lee Brown was serving as a Special Warfare Operator (SEAL), while deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. On that date, Chief Brown was serving as part of an assault force that executed a daring raid deep into mountainous enemy-occupied terrain in northeastern Afghanistan. Two barricaded enemy fighters opened fire from the target building into the assault force personnel and non-combatants, while numerous enemy fighters simultaneously engaged(Submitted on January 20, 2025, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)the force from the surrounding mountains. Reacting immediately, Chief Brown engaged 2 of the fighters from his position and boldly maneuvered toward the enemy under intense small arms fire, thus providing life-saving cover for his trapped teammates and noncombatants. Although mortally wounded, Chief Brown continued to engage and communicate the location of the enemy fighters. Chief Brown's heroic actions under withering enemy fire changed the tide of the battle and inspired those around him to courageously eliminate the remaining enemy fighters. This aggressive operation resulted in the elimination of the targeted Taliban commander and 4 enemy fighters following an intense 2 hour firefight. Chief Brown's courage and dedication to duty that day earned him, at the cost of his life the U.S. Navy's third highest award for valor, the Silver Star Medal.Photographed by Cosmos Mariner, September 13, 20242.

Excerpt: Chief Petty Officer Adam Lee Brown spent much of his 12-year Navy career fighting battles that will never be known in places never mentioned. Only a few know of the work Brown did. The rows of ribbons on the uniform he was buried in tell part of the story one filled with combat and courage. In early 2012 the book, Fearless: The Undaunted Courage and Ultimate Sacrifice of Navy SEAL Team Six Operator Adam Brown, was published in his honor to chronicle his life and achievements. He is survived by his wife and two children. SOC Brown has been laid to rest at Cunningham Cemetery, Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas.(Submitted on January 20, 2025, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
