2008 ROA National Convention Atlanta, Georgia ~ June 25-28, 2008 It’s a Family Affair! ROA is again facilitating families of members attending the ROA/ROAL National Convention. In fact, through the Convention, ROA is hoping families can establish an informal network as valuable as the type that service members develop at these events. Families can start their days, Thursday through Saturday, in the ROA President’s suite. Over juice and pastries, gather with other families to plan your day and perhaps set forth as a group to enjoy all that the Atlanta Area has to offer. As an alternative to the Inaugural Banquet, families can sign their children up for “Dinner and a Movie.” Two suites have been set aside, one for children ages 6 to 10, and one for kids 11 and up, with babysitter service, a meal, games, and age-appropriate pay-per-view movies. The cost is $20 per child.
Come Early, Stay Late. The Department of Georgia is excited about hosting this years Convention and have planned to make it the best in years, starting with a high-energy opening night gala. The people of Atlanta are friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed and refreshing, and there is never a shortage of things to do. So come join us in Atlanta this summer, but don't forget to take time to experience a city that knows no limits. Convention registration fees, hotel rates and reservations, and fun things to do in Atlanta are available--just click the link below:

May 16, 2008 Armed Forces Day is May 17 In a speech announcing the formation of the day, President Truman "praised the work of the military services at home and across the seas" and said, "it is vital to the security of the nation and to the establishment of a desirable peace." In an excerpt from the Presidential Proclamation of Feb. 27, 1950, Mr. Truman stated: "Armed Forces Day, Saturday, May 20, 1950, marks the first combined demonstration by America's defense team of its progress, under the National Security Act, towards the goal of readiness for any eventuality. It is the first parade of preparedness by the unified forces of our land, sea, and air defense." Armed Forces Day is celebrated annually on the third Saturday of May.
