INVITATION TO EXHIBIT

Please plan to join us for the Reserve Officers Association’s 27th Annual Reserve Component Expo as more than 500 men and women from all six uniformed services come together to exchange ideas, renew their commitment to the security of our nation, and celebrate their dedicated service.
