The Roswell Garden Club, The Roswell Rotary Club and the City of Roswell, Georgia dedicated these two Markers on Memorial Day, May 30, 2022.  The Markers have been installed in a prior year, but due to Covid Considerations a Formal Dedication was delayed.  On Thursday, May 26, 2022 the Rotary Club conducted a Memorial Day Program for their Club at the Roswell Recreation Center.  The following pictures show the Marker Portions of the Program:
