ROSS HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Within MNBG-E we were assigned soldiers from Poland , Germany , Hungary , Croatia , Slovenia , Romania and Turkey . It was quite a challenge to get everyone to work together considering the diversity of cultural backgrounds . Now add the fact that every troop-contributing nation has a multitude of national holidays and other political celebrations that required the presence from the other nations , it made for a colorful deployment .
Monthly Meetings : Join the historical society for their monthly meetings at the Ross Municipal Building . Meetings of the Ross Township Historical Society are the third Friday of March and May at 6:30 p . m . at the Ross Township Municipal Building .
All meeting are free and open to the public !

ROSS TOWNSHIP NEWS
Who would have thought that I , an average Ross Township Police Officer , would be attending events and functions involving Ambassadors , members of the Kosovo Parliament , and high ranking officers from other nations and forming friendships that would span different cultures and continents ?
Did this make up for being away from family and friends for eleven months ? No . Do I feel that I truly made a difference in this area of the world ? Most definitely . And in turn , I returned to my country a better , wiser man for it .
