Cols. Robert Case and Scott Russell represented ROA at an Air Force Yellow Ribbon event in Orlando, Florida during Memorial Day weekend, May 26-28, 2023. The two manned a vendor table and talked to deployers about how ROA can help them. STARs school kits were very popular with the pre-deployers and the post-deployers were interested in ROA’s Law Center. The event had approximately 550 people attending with most of them being post-deployment.

The Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program (YRRP) is a DoD-wide effort to promote the well-being of National Guard and Reserve members, their families and communities, by connecting them with resources throughout the deployment cycle.
Commanders and leaders play a critical role in ensuring that National Guard and Reserve Service members and their families attend Yellow Ribbon Events where they can access information on healthcare, education, employment, and financial and legal benefits.
ROA’s involvement in these events helps foster connection with local families who serve across the nation.
“We had a chance to talk to people about what ROA has done, and our legislative priorities for the current Congress,” said Russell.
There are two more upcoming Air Force events in Orlando and another one in Anaheim, California and Russell is looking for anyone interested in representing ROA at these events.
