“ROXBORO ELKS HOLD PATRIOTISM WEEK”
The Roxboro Elks Lodge #2005 held Patriotism Week in Person County from September 9th -15th. The lodge was presented with a proclamation on behalf of the City of Roxboro and a proclamation on behalf of the Person County. The proclamations states that “The Order promotes the ideals that the citizens of this nation live in freedom, won through the great sacrifices and many tribulations which have provided the foundation for a free, prosperous and independent life. We realize that each generation must work to maintain this freedom, otherwise, through carelessness or indifference, the rights and liberties enjoyed may vanish, and it is fitting and proper to recognize this freedom and to honor the nation, which provides it.” Members of the Lodge participated in a Patriots Day Service at the Person County Veterans Park to honor victims and families of the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks on the United States of America.
