Numerous veterans were in attendance, including Roger Wise, a Roswell native and Georgia Military Hall of Fame honoree, and Councilwoman Lee Hills.
“I am so proud of the work here to honor our Veterans in my Senate district. Thank you to the Mayor, city staff, and most importantly to all those who have served us in the military,” said Sen. Albers.
“Since taking office, one of the initiatives I’m most proud of is the creation of the Esteemed Veteran of Roswell program. At each Mayor and City Council meeting, we honor a remarkable resident who has bravely served in the U.S. Armed Forces. To date, we’ve been privileged to celebrate over 50 veterans for their dedication and sacrifice,” said Mayor Wilson. “Reserving special motorcycle parking for those who have served is just a small gesture, but it’s one way we can show our deep gratitude for all they’ve done to protect our freedom and our country.”
“I rode for many years and have many fellow veterans who ride, including some who are disabled from their service. The veteran community appreciates this recognition and support. Thank you, Mayor Wilson and Senator Albers, for your continued support,” said Roger Wise.
