Summary

Building #598 at Camp Santiago Joint Training Center, Salinas, Puerto Rico was dedicated to Col (ret) Milagros Bonilla, US Army Nurse, in a ceremony that marked a unique and rare occasion in which an Army landmark is dedicated to a living Soldier. Due to her successful military career, that spanned almost three decades, and her outstanding service, commitment and exemplary life, the US Army deemed proper to authorize the dedication of the building. The process for approval took three long years.
Bonilla joined the Puerto Rico Army National Guard in 1972 serving for 28 years as a nurse and becoming the first women in attaining the rank of Colonel in the organization on November 1995.
Her leadership, candor and fearless spirit was put to test during the mobilization of the 201st Medical Evacuation Hospital for Operations Desert Shield/ Desert Storm in November 1990. She was one of 32 officers and 118 enlisted females from the PRARNG to mobilize during the conflict.
Bonilla continues to contribute to younger generations as a Nursing Science Professor at Metropolitan University.
