Remembering Those Who Served
Memorial Day Program - May 23
This week, we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our
freedom as our Memorial Day committee leads our club meeting with a preview of
our Roswell Remembers Memorial Day Ceremony next Monday. Led
by Past President Dave Young, we honor our fallen soldiers, sailors, and airmen
who fought and died for our freedom. This day is a great reminder that
freedom is not free. Many have paid the ultimate price so that we can
maintain our many freedoms.
This meeting is unique each year as we have the presentation of the
Colors, listen to inspiring music, focus on the price of freedom, and give
thanks for the sacrifice others made for our benefit. We will forego the
usual announcements, introduction of guests, happy dollars, and our weekly
raffle. We hope to see you all this Thursday for this special day.

Roswell Rotary After Hours will welcome Lt. Vance Rosen from the Henry County Police Department as their guest speaker tonight! He will share leadership wisdom he has learned from working as a detective and FBI task force officer. Everyone is invited! See you at The Artillery Room at 6:30!
