USO Okinawa Service Salute Award

U.S. Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Queena Brosas, a hospital corpsman with Marine Wing Support Squadron 171, is awarded the 2020 USO Okinawa Service Salute Award as the United States Navy honoree. Petty Officer 2nd Class Brosas was awarded at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, Sept. 15, 2020.
The USO Okinawa Service Salute Award is given to seven enlisted service members across the Pacific, with one nominee from the U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force, Japanese Air Self Defense Force, and Japanese Ground Self Defense Force.
“This was not an easy process. You are the singular selectee for the Navy across all of Okinawa (and Japan),” said Command Master Chief Moore. “Your service and the things you do each and every day contributed to the decision to select you and you should be very proud.”
This nomination was selected based on the eight core values of the USO: mission first, do the right thing, innovation, respect, excellence, collaboration, gratitude, and accountability. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Jackson Ricker)
