Since his first day in the army, Gal Shavi has performed his service in the warehouse department of Home Front Command’s Arad Base. “The war reserve-stores unit never looked as good as it does since Gal joined us,” says his unit commander.

Gal relates: “When they told me that I’m going to be receiving the Presidential Award, I cried. This is the pinnacle moment in my life, and now, I can dream further! One of my dreams is to sign a contract as a career officer after I complete regular service.”
