LOCALS OBSERVE MEMORIAL DAY AMID THE DAYS OF SOCIAL DISTANCING

Monday was Memorial Day. Its observance was quite different across the US in the days of coronavirus, including here in Rome, Georgia. Local activities included a special tribute hosted by the Rome Area History Center which was livestreamed on Facebook; the broadcast is still posted for the public to view. Those who attended the event in person observed social distancing.

Memorial Day is observed annually on the last Monday in May to recognize the military personnel who died in service to our country.
