Tales from the US Army

Featuring Our Very Own Emily Beach

Burlingame Rotarian and City Councilmember Emily Beach attended college at the University of Notre Dame on an Army ROTC scholarship. She went on to serve in the Air Defense Artillery as a PATRIOT missile officer. During her four years on active duty, Emily earned the rank of Captain, graduated from the U.S. Army Airborne Parachute School, and worked proudly alongside service members from all different walks of life in Saudi Arabia, South Korea, and Texas. Following our Veterans Day appreciation ceremony in November, Rotarians asked to hear more stories from our Club's veterans.  Emily is delighted to launch this effort by sharing Army memories and lessons-learned on February 17th, and she hopes other veteran Rotarians will chime in with a few of their own!
