of the Oregon Veterans
Motorcycle Association
as they passed through
Vernonia on their POW/
MIA run. The 35
motorcycles and 50+
Veteran riders met the
squad at Shay Park where
the girls served up root
beer floats and cookies to
the club. The cheerleaders
performed a few cheers,
talked with the club and
posed for photos. OVMA
members were grateful for
the welcome and for the floats on a hot summer
afternoon. The club continued on to Stub
Stewart State Park where they stayed the night,
ending their run.
“‘I don’t have enough time’, is all too often
the statement that we make when asked to help
out or volunteer our time,” said VHS cheer
coach Denise Way. “But this past Saturday we
gave up an hour of our time, for the men and
women that gave up years of their life to serve
our country. I could not have been prouder of
my cheerleading squad for giving up part of
their Saturday to serve root beer floats.”
“Thank you for your support of veterans,”
said Stan Wood, OVMA (retired Colonel Army)
in a thank you note to the squad. “You guys are
really great and quite professional. Best of luck
to all of you in your futures.”
