Illinois Army National Guard 1st Sgt. Graham Young of Marion, Illinois, describes the passion needed by military recruiters during his retirement ceremony. Young passed responsibility for the Illinois Army National Guard's November Company, Recruit Sustainment Program, Recruiting and Retention Battalion to 1st Sgt. Beau Detrick on June 8 at the Illinois Army National Guard Readiness Center in Marion. After the Change of Responsibility, Young retired from the Army after more than 28 years and eight months of military service. Young either recruited or supervised the recruitment of 1,999 Soldiers during his career, including Detrick, who he directly recruited and recommended as a full-time recruiter. Also, as part of the ceremony, the Illinois Army National Guard "promoted" 7-year-old Jamir Gibbs to honorary first sergeant. Jamir, also of Marion, has been in a tough fight with cancer and the Illinois National Guard along with both local and state first responders honored his bravery, perseverance, and toughness in his fight.
