ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, Md. — WMAR-2 News is committed to improving the lives of Veterans in Maryland by giving light to their stories, struggles and triumphs. Every week a local veteran will be featured in our Veteran Spotlight contest.
This week we are honoring Giselle Allen of Anne Arundel County, who served in the United States Army for 21 years.
Allen was a Sergeant First Class and also led troops as a Drill Sergreant in Fort Jackson, South Carolina. During her military career, she served in support of Operation Sea Signal, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation Iraqi Freedom. She retired as a Visual Information Operations Chief.
Her daughter, Adrianna, is incredibly proud of her mom's service and calls her an amazing woman, who works tirelessly to provide for her family.
Thank you for your service to our country.
