The Rotary Club of Lahaina Sunset will host a presentation on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at its meeting on Nov. 17. The meeting is open to the public and free to attend, according to Joanne Laird, who sent the club’s news release.

David McCamis is the scheduled speaker. His topic is “Tomb of The Unknown Soldier, the History and Importance,” according to an announcement. It says McCamis will discuss how the memorial came to be, what it signifies and why it is important to the American public.
