Sgt. Lawrence Brown served from 1980-1983 in the U.S. Army and is Bergen County’s Veteran of the Month for February!
During his service, Lawrence was stationed in Ft. Worth, Texas, where he acted as a multi-channel communications equipment operator (31M MOS). Afterwards, from 1983 to 1989, Lawrence was stationed as a reservist at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn, New York.
During his time in the army, he was awarded an ARCOM Medal less than two weeks after his initial assignment as a 31M MOS.
In the reserves, he attained the rank of Sergeant after 3 years. He was also the reenlistment NCO at the station in Brooklyn as well.
After his discharge, he went on to work in law firms, and from there he got his CDL and became a bus driver. He currently resides within Emerson Veteran Supportive Housing provided by the Housing Authority of Bergen County.
We thank him for his service to our nation!
