Set For Dedication The long-awaited and much anticipated West Valley Veterans' Memorial is now in place on the campus of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. Much
of the credit for the memorial finally being in place has to do with the efforts of Tribal Elder and Veterans' leader Marce Norwest (left) and Tribal member and memorial designer Steve
Bobb shown here in front of the memorial right after cranes set everything in place. A dedication for the Memorial was set for Saturday, May 31 .

that's what our community fund

support it wholeheartedly."

254 recipient organizations of the
Fund's 347 grants since 1997 at
tended, plus Tribal Elders, Tribal
officials, staffers and decision mak
ers from all over the state to honor
this important milestone.
