oregon chapter takes part in veterans day activities

had the honor of presenting It’s Veterans Day in cloudy Roseburg, OR, and the annual parade is an annual highlight in the town’s agenda of events.  Roseburg just experienced a flyover of twin F-15 Eagle Fighter jets from the 173rd Fighter Wing from Klamath Falls Air National Guard…and all action stopped and the crowd celebrated the awesome sight!  The local NCOA Umpqua Valley Chapter 1308 was on hand with a Legacy Medallion display to advertise NCOA’s program to seek and honor local veterans.  Located directly behind this display is the renowned Veterans Traveling Wall, sponsored by the local Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter 805.  Pictured from right to left are Roger Arnold, Vice Chairman; Don Adams, and Ron Dukes, Chairman.  All are members of the Vietnam Veterans of America…a strong supporter of the NCOA’s Legacy Medallion program.  After the parade, Don Adams and Ron Dukes had the honor of presenting three Korean War Legacy Medallions at the Brookdale Care Center as family members and staff helped celebrate their military service.  (Photo by Cleta Yarbrough)
