Athens Mayor Nancy Denson, a member of the
Classic City of Athens Rotary Club, presented United States Marine Sergeant
Ryan Pass with the Key to The City at
the June 20th Classic City Rotary Club meeting.
Sgt. Pass received the Bronze Star for
bravery in the line of duty in Iraq. His
unit was pinned down by gunfire when two of his marines were hit. He was able to continue returning fire while
getting both of his fellow marines to safety and thus they were transported for
medical assistance. They both recovered
from their wounds.
Sgt. Pass is a native Athenian and
graduated from high school in Athens.
Many of his family members were in attendance, as well as his best friend
growing up and his best friend’s family.
Mayor Denson also read a proclamation naming June 14, 2016, as Sergeant
Ryan Pass Day in Athens. Sgt.
Pass is currently stationed at Camp Pendleton in California.
