Just a recent sighting of the ASCOD II Sabrah Command Vehicle named the "Major Ferdinand E. Marcos" during the visit of Brigadier General Joselito T. Lopena, Chief of the Armed Forces of the Philippines' (AFP) Pension and Gratuity Management Center to the Armor (Pambato) Division of the Philippine Army (PA) recently

The Vehicle by the Way, in case you missed it is named after Ferdinand Marcos Senior (Sr.) and not Junior, as Marcos Sr. was a Major in the United States Armed Forces of the Far East (USAFFE). And notice also the "E" for the Middle Name which stands for "Edralin"

Hazel Johnson-Brown (M.A. ’63) was not deterred when the nursing school in her hometown of West Chester, Pennsylvania rejected her application because she was black. In 1947, she enrolled in the Harlem Hospital School of Nursing instead. After graduating, she went to work at the Philadelphia Veterans Hospital. In 1955, she enlisted in the U.S. Army, just after the military became desegregated. During her military career she held many senior positions. She became the first African American woman to hold the title of General when she was promoted to Brigadier General in 1979. At this time, she was also appointed as Chief of the Army Nurse Corps. Over the years, the military honored Johnson-Brown with the Distinguished Service Medal, the Legion of Merit, the Meritorious Service Medal and the Army Commendation Medal. She was twice named Army Nurse of the Year. In the 1970s, she also served as director of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Nursing. While in the Army, Dr. Johnson-Brown earned a bachelor’s degree in nursing from Villanova University, a master’s degree in nursing education from TC, and a Ph.D. in education administration from Catholic University. She was the Assistant Dean of the University of Maryland School of Nursing from 1976 to 1978. She later served as Professor of Nursing at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. and then at George Mason University in Virginia. #BlackHistoryMonth #TCAlumni #USArmy #BrigadierGeneral #TeachersCollege #ColumbiaUniversity #TCWay @georgetownuniversity @georgemasonu @catholicuniversity
