Happy Independence Day from the ODA!

ODA member Dr. Bob Nelson recently celebrated his 60th year as a licensed dentist in Ohio. A surprise reception was held at his office where Dr. Nelson received multiple cards, letters and citations from local and state leaders. Pictured here are Rep. Brian Baldridge (R-Winchester), Dr. Nelson, and Dr. Hal Jeter of the Southern Ohio Dental Society. Dr. Jeter presented a letter of congratulations to Dr. Nelson from ODA President Dr. Tom Kelly.

While President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation declared the end of slavery in the United States on January 1, 1863, thousands of people living in slavery weren't made aware of their freedom until over two and a half years later. When Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865, all those still living in slavery were freed, and so the day was marked as the celebration and commemoration of the end of U.S. slavery - Freedom Day. Happy Juneteenth!
