A Saratoga Lions Salute To Military Veterans
The Saratoga Springs Lions Club Military Veterans
“WE SERVE”…The motto of the largest service organization in the world-A group of over 1.35 million members, 46,000 clubs in 208 countries. They call themselves Lions.
Lions Clubs are best known around the world for their volunteer activities related to sight, hearing conservation, fighting diabetes, youth development and finally, community development.
As the Memorial Day 2014 Holiday weekend is upon us, every American should be thankful that there is another group of very special individuals, committed to serving. Without the efforts and sacrifices of these men and women, throughout centuries of history, the lives of all of us would be very different. Lions Clubs would not exist. Our communities would not exist.
The Saratoga Springs Lions Club is proud of the fact that we have 15 club members that chose to serve their Country and continue to serve others in Lionism. We are better organization because of them. Saratoga Springs is a better community because of them.
Today, we pay a special tribute and honor our Veteran members as well as their brothers and sisters in arms.
