Honored Veteran James Browning

His Story

This plaque was presented to James Browning by his platoon following their Afghan tour in 2003. It was hand-carved by the platoon and presented to their lieutenant and platoon leader in recognition of excellence. James presents it in remembrance of the members of 1st Platoon, Alpha Company, 3-504, “Alpha Force.” Those who were with him, Doc Mike Jackson, Cousin, Strickland, Holden and Tomlin, are brothers he will keep for the rest of his life.
