"The City of Rowlett instituted this program in 2017 in order to show appreciation to those members in our community who have dedicated their time in service to our nation. Assisting with the selection and recognition of honorees is the Veterans Resource and Outreach Center (VROC). The Rowlett Veterans Recognition Program also helps bring awareness to veterans’ issues in our community – what is being done and what is still needed. Mayor Margolis is honored to continue formally recognizing Veterans of all ages and branches of service at City Council meetings.
The 25th veteran to be recognized is Michael Gallops, U.S. Air Force."
