This year’s event is scheduled for Sept. 14-18. The annual Celebration of Honor includes the Field of Honor, with 1,000 flags overlooking the ocean; the Oregon Memorial Wall; and vendors on site to offer information to veterans and their families. This year, the Spirit of 45 organiza- tion joins in with the World War II Wall of Honor. It is collecting WWII photos of veterans “who inspired and laid the foundation for the world we live in today.” On Sept. 15, veterans and active duty personnel eat free during open hours at the Siletz Bay Buffet. Veterans and active duty personnel must stop by the Winners Circle to register and show proof of mili- tary service (DD-214 or other military ID) to receive this benefit. Only one free voucher per person. The free comedy show is back this year on Sept. 15 with comedian Don Barnhart and Jeff Capri. Just show proof of military service for two free tickets. On Sept. 17, the Oregon Coast Veter- ans Association hosts a benefit golf tour- nament at Chinook Winds Golf Resort. The Run for Honor 5K and walk will take place Sept. 18. Active duty military and veterans get to run/walk for free and get a free shirt. To register, go to chinook- windscasino.com or call Heather Hatton at 541-996-5766.

Your casual stroll on the beach could provide a hidden treasure in the form of a red, white or blue glass float that was carefully placed among the miles of sand, shells and driftwood by Lincoln City Visitor and Convention Bureau volunteers. This treasure-discovering promotion is part of the critically acclaimed “Finders Keepers” community program. Your participation is welcomed; con- tact Heather Hatton at 541-996-5766 or heatherh@CWCResort.com or Bill John at 541-996-5815 or williamj@cwcresort. com for more information on how to get involved and volunteer for this annual event honoring those who serve and have served our country.

A fundraiser for a veterans group; a special or discount at your business for veterans and their families; red, white and blue decorations at your store; flying red, white and blue kites; displaying the American flag at your home or business; shaking the hand of a veteran or active duty person and offering a “welcome home” or “thank you”; or planning an event are just a few ways you can become part of this year’s celebration. Whether it’s a big event or a small fundraiser – every effort contributes to make the 13 th Celebration of Honor more meaningful and personal.
