Decorated Veteran Pays Tribute to 9/11 During Senior Day at the MJCCA
On Monday, September 11, from 10:00 am – 2:30 pm, active seniors from the community are invited to the Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta (MJCCA) to participate in a very special Senior Day, at Zaban Park (5342 Tilly Mill Road, Dunwoody). This year, in remembrance of 9/11, decorated war veteran Cary King will give a keynote address at 1:30 pm, in the MJCCA’s Morris & Rae Frank Theatre. King served in the Infantry and Artillery units in Vietnam, and was later awarded an Army Commendation Medal with “V” for valor, five Bronze stars, and numerous other awards. Throughout his impressive career, King has been recognized as an attorney by several organizations, including the Military and Veteran Affairs Section of the State Bar of Georgia.
The keynote address portion of Senior Day is free and open to the community. To RSVP, go to Veteran's Tribute.
