Roswell Remembers
Ceremony pays tribute to fallen heroes By SARAH COYNE sarah@appenmedia.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Thousands gathered at Roswell City Hall for the 26th annual Roswell Remembers Memorial Day Ceremony May 26. A sea of red, white and blue overwhelmed the city’s greenspace to
honor members of the U.S. military who died in service to their country. The award-winning event is sponsored each year by the City of Roswell and Roswell Rotary Club. Mayor Kurt Wilson, a U.S. Army veteran, welcomed guests to remember and mourn those who served.
ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Richard Landin was shocked when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents showed up at his Alpharetta apartment May 12 and handcuffed his wife. Married for three months, Richard watched in disbelief as agents announced they were detaining Daniela Joy Landin, who entered the U.S. last year as an asylum seeker from Colombia. “My wife looked at me, teary-eyed and terrified,” Richard said. “And she was like, ‘Wait, what’s going on?’”

“These are the men and women who answered our nation’s call and never came home,” Wilson said. “They are not just names etched in stone or pictures in a frame. They are sons and daughters, moms and dads, husbands and wives, neighbors and friends.
