Army Pfc. Abraham Gebara, 20, shows off an "An Army of One" t-shirt in back of the Armed Forces Recruiting Center in Dearborn, Mich., Nov. 21, 2004. The estimated 3,500 Arab Americans serving in the U.S. military are receiving a mixed reception from their communities, in which many people oppose the U.S. war in Iraq, according to soldiers and community officials. Gebara, who comes from this heavily Arab Detroit suburb, said he did not expect enthusiasm from his neighbors when he enlisted. But he said he was surprised when the ``Army of One'' bumper sticker repeatedly was ripped off his car, either. ``I had friends who stopped talking to me,'' the 20-year-old told The Detroit News. Gebara, who said he had dreamed of becoming a soldier since he was 7 years old, shrugged off criticism and replaces the bumper stickers as fast as they vanish.
