V ETS Continued from page 3A This was stressed with the presentation of Fire Chief John Wooten, who also spoke at the celebration. “I was homeless,” Wooten said solemnly. After serving in the Army, Wooten had trouble fi nding work outside of the armed forces after being injured. But thanks to what he described as service programs, he found a home. Mayor Tom Monroe also spoke at the ceremony. A vet- eran himself, Munroe saluted and discussed the necessity of serving one’s country. “Today we celebrate a legacy of freedom and the necessary conditions of that freedom,” said Munroe. “Freedom isn’t free.” Munroe also stressed that while we should always mourn the fallen, Veteran’s Day (as opposed to Memorial Day) is more of a celebration of those who have served and are still with us. As the Lincoln Middle School Choir sang the fi ve Ser- vice Hymns, veterans from their respective branches all stood up when their song was sung and the attendees applauded grate- fully. The ceremony was also graced by the presence of Sgt. Darren J. Cicerone of the U.S. Marine Corps, who is still in active duty. Cicerone discussed the hardships and specifi cally his nervousness as he signed up and the existential and purpose- ful fulfi llment that serving his country has brought him. After the fi nal salute to our veterans and a closing prayer by Jack Gates, Boy Scouts fol- lowed piper Tom McVey on the bagpipes as the colors were re- tired and the ceremony ended with an honorable sense of ap- preciation and pride. ers bracing against the unforgiv- ing sea air while taking in vistas every bit as rugged and beauti- ful as can be found in the Pacifi c Northwest. At night, we’d lounge while taking in the news from a re- markably different perspec- tive than America’s corporate- owned, constant-cable variety. There were reports of alleged doping by Russian athletes, the growing migrant crisis brought on by those fl eeing horrifi c con- ditions in Africa and the Middle East and the demands of British Prime Minister David Cameron he says are necessary to keep his country involved with the Eu- ropean Union. Throughout the week, red poppies could be seen on the lapels of almost everyone (including during my layover in Vancouver, B.C., Canada), a reminder of Remembrance Day and a poignant lesson for me on the global horror of the war that gave rise to Veterans Day here in America and similar holidays in Europe. By the end of our trip, the sobering news of carnage in Paris led to anxiety about our return journey, though the secu- rity precautions and fl ight home passed without memorable inci- dent. Now, as I sit typing back here in our Cottage Grove home, it’s almost as if the entire trip were a dream, that it may never have actually occurred. But with the coming of a new season back in Oregon and the hope of new journeys ahead, I’m reminded that there are beautiful places and people in all corners of this spectacular planet, and I’m con- scious of the amazing luck that’s allowed me and my loved ones to explore many of them.

After the ceremony, an elegant dinner and more than a little dessert, our kiddo led an evening fi lled with dancing, falling asleep on a chair when she could boogie no more. For much of the following week, our hikes and drives (in tiny cars, on the left side of the road between high hedges) led us to quaint towns, the pubs and delicious local seafood to be found there, as we journeyed between historic old seaside vil- lages with names like Countis- bury, Lee and Mortehoe. It was easy to imagine this place over the centuries, its ancient travel- Give a Gift Certificate! Order your Th anksgiving Turkey NOW!
