MAKING THE RIGHT DECISION Leon and Rosina Brown, proud parents of SGT Tyree Brown, tell their story.
s a young man, Tyree was seen as a "shy" person and even a "video geek," his dad, Leon, recalls. However, he credits his son's Army experience and training with helping him to break out of his shell and become a man. The skills and lessons Tyree has learned in the Army continue to make him a stronger and more responsible person. Tyree says, "It's a totally different view that people see of me." He has applied those lessons to his life and deeply believes that had it not been for the Army, he would not be the type husband or father he is today.
“The Army, it gives you the confidence that you can do whatever you want to do.”
—Sgt. Tyree Brown
Leon thinks his son has changed drastically since joining the Army. "It made him focus straight ahead on what he wanted to do." He's proud to see how Tyree has matured and prioritized his life.
Leon always wanted his kids to achieve their best and feels that the Army has given his son the tools to attain his goals and have a successful future.
