Marine Sgt. Brooke Sharp was recognized July 11 at the Reserve Officers Association in Washington, D.C. for her valiant efforts in Afghanistan. Sgt. Sharp went from working with cyber, data and servers to deploying with Task Force Southwest to Afghanistan. She reported on Taliban activities, and during battle she rescued Afghan troops. Sharp was also selected as this year's Marine Corps Times Service Member of the Year. Congratulations.
