Welcoming Our Troops at the Airport
As an ongoing service, American service men and women landing at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport are warmly welcomed by the USO and Rotary Club volunteers. They are also treated to a lunch of American favorites for a touch of hometown hospitality. In November 2011, volunteers from the North Fulton Rotary Club and the Rotary Club of Windward joined the USO in giving out Chick-fil-A sandwiches, drinks, chips, doughnuts and proud smiles. Donations were raised from local businesses to make this special welcome possible. Williams, Horning & Company, LLC and WealthGuard Advisory Group, LLC were among the proud sponsors.
Our own John Williams, who serves as treasurer for the Rotary Club of Windward, said, “We are very proud and deeply grateful for the service and sacrifice service men and women make on behalf of our country. We hope this welcome made them feel at home while they were with us in Atlanta and they felt the heartfelt gratitude we all have for them.”
We welcome all our troops coming home this holiday season and send our support and prayers with those traveling onward to their deployments.
