SPC Monica Melendez
Signal
Duty station: Tampa, Fla.
Hometown: Tampa, Fla.
Army Reserve Spc. Monica Melendez thinks the time is right to leave the Tampa Bay area with the U.S. Army Soldier Show, all the while knowing a deployment will follow. “I feel like I’m born here, I’m raised here – this is my country – and I feel like everybody should serve if they can,” said Melendez, 28, who has been pushed in the direction of the Soldier Show since she sang the national anthem at Basic Training. “It’s funny because everybody looks at me and is like, ‘She’s gonna squeak.’ But then I just come out with this loud voice, and they’re like, ‘Man, you should sing the national anthem for this, and sing it for that, and definitely do the Soldier Show. Don’t make me look you up and see you haven’t done it.’ From my drill sergeants to lieutenant colonels, anybody that’s heard me sing in the military in my leadership has told me to check it out. I had the opportunity to try this year, and so here I am. I’m ready to get down to business and do my part.” U.S. Army photo by Tim Hipps, IMCOM Public Affairs

Army SPC Luis Puertas was left a double amputee after an EFP explosion in Baghdad, Iraq, on September 20, 2006. SPC Puertas was the driver of the lead HUMVEE on a daily patrol near Sadar City when an unseen EFP, planted at the base of a light pole launched into the vehicle, amputating both of his legs on impact, leaving him trapped beneath the 400 pound up-armored door of the HUMVEE.
Miraculously, his team was able to extricate him from the wreckage, and prepare him for medevac from the scene. Airlifted to a local hospital and then to Landstuhl, Germany before finally arriving at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, SPC Puertas spent 14 months enduring surgeries and rehabilitation.
SPC Puertas is enrolled in college, working on an associate’s degree that he hopes to eventually use in the field of prosthetics. He is looking forward to living in an accessible home where he can use his wheelchair in all areas, including the bathroom. He would like to thank those who give of themselves to assist the wounded troops returning from the war, he knows first-hand the difference it can make in their lives.
