Roberts helps honor fallen heroes
Lt. Governor Elizabeth Roberts presided over a moving ceremony this weekend that sadly saw two more names etched into the memorial stone in the Garden of Heroes, located on the south law of the State House.
The Garden is dedicated to all Rhode Island military personnel who lost their lives in the war against teror since 9/11. Former Lt. Governor Charlie Fogarty lead the effort to build the garden, which was opened in 2005.
Lt. Governor Roberts has been an outspoken proponent of our troops and has aggressively promoted a creative program to help support the families of deployed soldiers.
