“It is time for reflection and time for me to remember two of my best friends who gave their life in Iraq as linguists” said Manhal Shallal, Training Specialist, Regional Recruiting Center, Central Region.

“This was a great opportunity for GLS to be recognized by the community along with other organizations from the community and to participate with another organization such as APAAM” said Ali Yahya, Region Manager, RRC Central Region. Previous to GLS, Ali Yahya recruited for over four and a half years with the US Army’s 09L program in Detroit, Michigan.

GLS’ success in the community is in part due to the development of long-term partnerships in the Arab American community, specifically in the Detroit and Dearborn areas of Michigan by the Central Region RRC - success that will be transcended to other regions of the country.

GLS’ goals were:

At Powell Elementary School in the Georgia-Petworth community, the only thing separating the students from gang members in the alley on the south side is a chain link fence. This is why all of our Service Day activities, including the mural we paint, will share the common goal of gang prevention through positive action.
