Rotarians know what we do, but it is great when a non-Rotarian acknowledges the role that Rotary plays in making communities better.  This Letter to the Editor in the Progress-Index on November 27 expressed appreciation of the efforts of the Petersburg Rotary and the Petersburg Breakfast Rotary in assisting the YMCA.  We express thanks to the Progress-Index for permission to reprint this sincere letter in Rotary District publications. Thanks also to Kayla Pitchford for taking the time to recognize Rotary. Kayla, you belong in Rotary:)

We note here that the Petersburg Rotary Clubs along with the Colonial Heights and Prince George Rotary Clubs are part of a district grant to be completed this year to help restore the Wilcox Conservation area at Lee Park.  The work of Rotary is noticed regardless of how we make it happen.

As we boat, cookout, visit the mall, catch a soccer game  … let’s remember that our way of life has been and is being secured by men and women in all branches of the military and in the government agencies which support them.  Many of these personnel will be far away from the usual celebrations of the Memorial Day weekend such as the second detachment of the 111th Quartermaster Company  which left for a six month deployment on May 20th.

One of Rotary’s six areas of service, Promoting Peace, is devoted to learning about and understanding challenges faced by people around the world.  No country is perfect but by sharing our good will and seeking to understand others, maybe someday we can help eradicate conflict just as we are eradicating polio.

As Memorial Day approaches let’s give some thought to those in uniform and their support agencies. Let’s find some ways to express our gratitude for their service and remember those no longer with us.

Have a safe, peaceful Memorial Day weekend.
