Wounded warrior shares story of her 'invisible disability' Joye
Brown, accompanied by her service dog Gunny, speaks to the crowd
gathered at the Berman-Varner House for the Oct. 24 Disability
Employment Awareness Luncheon. Brown was injured while serving
in Afghanistan.  ANNISTON ARMY DEPOT, Ala. -- Joye Brown
enlisted in the Army young, just out of high school at the age
of 18. She hoped the military would give her two things in
exchange for her service - a college education and travel.  "I
had no thoughts of danger," she told the crowd gathered in the
Berman-Varner House for Anniston Army Depot's Disability
Employment Awareness Luncheon Oct. 24.  While she gained the
education, experienced the travel and danger, she found an
appreciation for having a clear mission and a purpose.  She
shared some of her early memories of the Army as she spoke.
Those memories included being handed all of her equipment and
told to pack it in a duffle that, when loaded, was almost larger
than she was and was definitely heavier.
