Lions salute serviceman with flag

Summit Hill Lions Club is continuing its American flag program this week.

The program was resurrected earlier this year as a means of honoring and/or memorializing veterans from the community.For one-week periods, the club will fly the American flag at the Ludlow Park site to remember current and former town residents who gave service to our country.As the program continues this week, the flag will fly in honor of borough resident Jeffrey Rossman.He served in active duty with the Navy from 1989-93 aboard the USS Kittyhawk, during which time he worked on small engines and diesel engines, attaining the rank of Engineman First Class Petty Officer. He is currently serving in the Naval Reserves.Town residents are invited to contact Lions Club members to have a family member or friend scheduled to be honored or memorialized. Joseph O'Gurek Jr., (570) 645-5171, is in charge of the scheduling.Those making a request to have a veteran scheduled should provide that person's service record.The only stipulations are that the person being recognized is a current or former town resident and must have served in the Armed Services.
