USAFR Brig. Gen. Stacey L. Scarisbrick, and USAR Cadet Jacob A. Sobieski, cut the “century of service” cake during the ceremony in Warner Robins, Georgia.
The Greater South Georgia Chapter hosted a social to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Reserve Organization of America in Warner Robins, Georgia, on Sept. 9, 2022 with more than 20 service members in attendance.
The founders of ROA, veterans of World War I, believed America was vulnerable to return to its pre-war unpreparedness. Determined to help prevent the very unreadiness they had experienced, 140 officers gathered with General of the Armies John J. “Black Jack” Pershing at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C., and on October 2, 1922, formally established ROA.
This year’s National Convention will kick off ROA’s Centennial Year celebrations.
