Our speaker today is retired Air Force Colonel Frank G. Rohrbough whose career spanned 30 years as a health services administrator.
Colonel Rohrbough became a member of the Sons of the American Revolution based on his direct lineage to his Patriot grandfather John Rorabaugh who supported the cause of liberty during the American Revolution. He was inducted into the National Society Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) on June 10, 1996 as a member of the George Washington Chapter at Mount Vernon, Virginia Society SAR.
Because of his love of American Revolution History, he served as the Chapter’s Grave Marking Chairman for Revolutionary patriots buried in Virginia. In this role, he located and conducted the marking of 6 Patriot Grave Sites for the SAR in the northern Virginia area.
Since 2008, Compatriot Rohrbough has done extensive research on General Washington while he was the Commander in Chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolution. His research has been conducted at the Libraries of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Sons of the American Revolution, the National Archives, the US Navy Research Library at the Navy Yard in Washington DC, Valley Forge National Park in Pennsylvania and the Yorktown National Park in Yorktown Virginia. More specifically, his American Revolutionary Period Research has focused on Washington’s spying operations during the Revolutionary War.
Compatriot Rohrbough and his wife, Diane, relocated to Boerne, Texas in November 2004 to be closer to family and friends. He has been a Member of the San Antonio Chapter, Texas Society Sons of the American Revolution since moving to Texas.
