COMMUNITY THROWS SEND-OFF CELEBRATION FOR ARMY RECRUIT JAMAL MULLINS

Representative La Shawn K. Ford and Austin residents organized a gala surprise send-off celebration for Jamal Mullins, who enlisted in the U.S. Army and is heading to boot camp at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri. The party was held at St. Martin De Porres Catholic Church, 5112 West Washington Boulevard, on Sunday, January 29. Rep. Ford explained the reason for the celebration, saying, “It is not often the Austin community gets to show their appreciation for the sacrifices our local men and women will make when choosing to enlist in military service. As a community, it is just as important to show moral support for our recruits and demonstrate that their selfless acts of volunteer military service are supported and very much appreciated. Jamal Mullins is an Austin Role Model and future Austin area hero!”
