Today is a very special day for ROA.

Seventy-five years ago, on June 30th, 1950, President and ROA member, Harry S. Truman, signed the Reserve Officers Association (now doing business as the Reserve Organization of America) Congressional Charter.

A celebration was planned at the Harry S. Truman Library and Museum in Independence Missouri today, where ROA’s Department of Missouri members distributed a trifold detailing Truman’s military role and involvement in ROA, and "Captain Harry S. Truman," dressed in a WWI uniform, in the auditorium.
