ROA Celebrates 86th Birthday
 On October 2, 1922, several hundred officers, many of them combat veterans of WW I, gathered with General of the Armies John J. 'Black Jack' Pershing at the Willard Hotel in Washington to formally organize the Reserve Officers Association. Eighty six years later, 70,000 officers, many of whom are combat veterans of later conflicts WW II, Korea, Vietnam, Operation Desert Storm and the Global War on Terrorism - make up the foundation of ROA. On our birthday, we celebrate our strength through advocacy and education, helping to build the future of American national security and to ensure there will always be Citizen Warriors.
D. Ladd Pattillo
Colonel, USAR (Ret.)
National President
