Maj. Gen William Thigpen, commander of U.S. Army South (left), presents former Army Capt. Linda Bray (right) the Bronze Star Medal with “V” device during the Army South holiday ball in San Antonio, Texas, Dec. 8, 2023. Bray, former company commander of the 988th Miltary Police Company, received the upgrade award for her heroic actions during Operation Just Cause in 1989. Bray rushed from her command post to take direct command of one of her platoons when it came under heavy enemy fire. She offered the enemy an opportunity to surrender but ended up leading her Soldiers on a direct assault of a heavily fortified compound, resulting in the enemy fleeing and abandoning a large cache of weapons, thus accomplishing her assigned mission.
