Date:11/11/2009

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Sonia Meneses, a Big Brothers Big Sisters Military Mentor, is featured in All Volunteer Force (http://www.civicenterprises.net/allvolunteerforce/), a new Civic Enterprises study that reveals that men and women serving in the United States Armed Forces represent a new generation of leaders.
