For many years the Lewis & Clark Chapter has
been honored to participate in this event. Our Color Guard has fired musket
volleys at the end of the Memorial Day Celebration in Beaverton to commemorate
the men and women who have died in military service to their country. We have
also had our SAR booth there and over the years not only raised awareness for
our Society and chapter, but it has become our best fundraising event for the
Oregon Revolutionary War Memorial.
This year because of the CORVID-19 pandemic, the
American Legion has cancelled the event. We will miss being with our friends,
but please everyone take a moment on Memorial Day and remember those who made
the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Remember: Raise the flag on May 25 with
Honor and Respect.
