Retired Lt. Col. Ryan Yantis is a decorated survivor of the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon. In 2001, he was a Public Affairs Officer on duty at the Pentagon when American Airlines Flight 77 slammed into the building. Ryan was commissioned as a Calvary Officer in 1983 and served in more than 30 countries on four continents.
With all the challenges of service, both communities can benefit from inclusion and learning more about each other. Our Veterans are the fastest shrinking demographic, and unfortunately, so are many of our Rotary Clubs. Vets need connection, a sense of mission and service, and friendship. Rotary needs good people who want to serve and are hungry to connect. Let us help our veterans connect, thrive and to give back, as new Rotarians!
If you are a Vet please reach out to Ryan before our November 10th zoom.
