Title: Milwaukie High School's
"A Week of Honor"
Ken Buckles and Milwaukie High
School arc already busy with plan
ning for this year's "Week of I lonor"
events.
As in years past, Milwaukie High
School students and staff arc work
ing together to pay tribute to veter
ans and in their own uniijuc way, say
"thank you" for the sacrifices they
have made for our nation.
This year's annua! events orga
nized by Milwaukie High School
will include Pride Day, Living His
tory Day, and the Veterans Night of
Honor Program that will be held at
the Memorial Coliseum.
The rwo items being added to this
year's schedule arc a Veterans Day
Parade and a Big Band Street Dance,
both being held on Nov. 11, in
downtown Milwaukie.
Pride Day is a day spent cleaning
and decorating the entire school. On
Pride Day students wipe windows,
spread bark dust, pick up trash and
scrub floors.
Once the school is spotless, the
students cover classrooms and hall
ways with patriotic decorations, bal
loons, banners and war-related items.
This is in preparation for the follow
ing day, Living History Day.
Living History Day is a day spent
with veterans who come to the
school and share their experiences
and their stories. The students show
their appreciation and respect for
what veterans everywhere have en
dured in the protection of freedom
by preparing their school, giving up
their cafeteria for the day so that a
special catered lunch can be served
to the visiting veterans, and by hold
ing an assembly that pays tribute to
all veterans.

At the assembly, names of all
former Milwaukie High School stu
dents who have died in service to
their country are read, On this day,
military equipment and vehicles arc
on display throughout the school
and on its grounds.
Over the last several years, the
event called "Veterans - A Night of
Honor" has grown in popularity
and, as of last year, was held for the
first time at the Veterans' Memorial
Coliseum.
A USO-style show that was cre
ated solely for the purpose of pay
ing tribute to veterans includes par
ticipants from many of the sur
rounding communities and across
the state.
This year's show is set for Nov.
5, at 6 p.m., in the Coliseum. Some
I 'ttt News readers may recall the ar
ticle and photos of last year's show
that appeared in the January-February
2001 issue.
According to Ken Buckles, these
events could not take place without
the generous contributions from
veterans. He states that he has been
questioned as to where the money
from donations goes.
According to Buckles, all dona
tions go into a nonprofit account for
Living History Day at Milwaukie
High School, and these funds are
used for the cost of organizing and
hosting the above events.
Fundraising activities and the
seeking of donations arc necessary
in order to cover the costs of these
events. They are not just ways to "get
money out of the veterans," states
Buckles.
He also said that there has been
some concern that the events have
become too costly and that maybe
downsizing the events should be
considered.

"I am sorry, but I respectfully
disagree. My generation and younger
generations spend billions in this
country every year on the movie
industry, professional sports, the
music industry, clothing and junk
food, and the least we can do is try
to come up with the $100,000 to
honor our country's greatest and
real heroes. I know that honoring
you veterans is the right thing to do,"
said Buckles.
There are a number of events cur
rently in the planning stage. These
include a garage sale, the Living His
tory Classroom presentations, the
USO-stylc Tribute Show, the Veter
ans Day Parade, and the Big Band
Street Dance.
Mr. Buckles and the co-organizers
would like to obtain some idea
of the interest in the above-mentioned
events. Those interested in
