Today, Alyson Roth had the opportunity to participate in a very significant event at the Riverside National Cemetery for the "Reading of the Roll." She was one of 500 volunteers scheduled to read over 450,000 names over the period of 8 days, 24 hours a day.
Alyson said, "It was a very moving experience for me. As I read each name, I couldn't help but think about what that person sacrificed for our country and for our freedom. I also thought about my grandfather and his contribution to service during WWII. I'm extremely proud of all those who serve in our military. What a wonderful way to spend Memorial Day Weekend!"
