Officially Named Rockville Memorial Library

>

Today a ceremony was held to rename the Rockville Library. Daniel Campos who is running for Maryland State Delegate for District 17 (which includes the City of Rockville) attended, and we are pleased to share his first-hand report.

The renaming of Rockville Library to Rockville Memorial Library was a fitting and poignant beginning to this Memorial Day weekend. Active duty military, as well as veterans from past conflicts, including Korea, Vietnam, and even the Battle of the Bulge were present, as were family members of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country to preserve our freedom.

County Executive Isiah Leggett and Maryland Veterans Affairs Secretary Edward Chow, both Vietnam veterans themselves as well other elected officials offered words of tribute to our veterans. The ceremony concluded with a moving rendition of “Taps” followed by the unveiling of Rockville Memorial Library signs as a reminder to us all of the ultimate sacrifice to those who have served our nation so honorably and those who continue to serve today.

We will remember our brave service men and women not only this Memorial Day weekend, but each and every time we enter through the library doors or see this wonderful place in Town Square.
