Portland Veterans Parade Portland Veterans Day Parade The annual Portland Veterans Day Parade will be held on November 11 beginning at 9:30 on 40th and NE Tillamook A brief history of Veterans Day V eterans Day, origi- nally known as Ar- mistice Day, was originally set as a US legal holiday to honor the end of World War I, which officially took place on Nov. 11, 1918. In legislation that was passed in 1938, Nov. 11 was "dedi- cated to the cause of world peace and to be hereafter celebrated and known as "Armistice Day." As such, this new legal holiday hon- ored World War I veterans. In 1954, after having been through both World War II and the Korean War, the 83rd US Congress—at the urging of the veterans service organizations— amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word "Armistice" and inserting the word "Veterans." With the approval of this legisla- tion on June 1, 1954, Nov. 11 became a day to honor American veterans of all wars. In 1968, the Uniforms Holiday Bill ensured three- day weekends for federal employees by celebrating four national holidays on Mondays: Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Veterans Day and Colum- bus Day. Under this bill, Veterans Day was moved to the last Monday in October. Many states did not agree with this decision and con- tinued to celebrate the holi- day on its original date. The first Veterans Day under the new law was observed with much confusion on Oct. 25, 1971. Finally, on Sept. 20, 1975, President Gerald R. Ford signed a law which returned the annual observance of Veterans Day to its original date of Nov. 11, beginning in 1978. Since then, the Vet- erans Day holiday has been observed on that date. ...remembered always Carlton Woodard 1st Lieu- tenant, US Marine Corps July 1941- 1945 Parris Island, SC Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeun EWA Marine Corps Air Station, Territory of Hawaii Pearl Harbor, Territory of Hawaii Darlene Traylor Navy (Waves) Sept. 1943-June 1945 Basic training, NYC, further training, Iowa Teletype operator in Seattle, sending tele- grams to ships Cottage Grove American Legion Post #32 Show your Veteran or Military I.D. and receive 25% off your stay from Nov 10 - 17, 2017 Salutes all of our Veterans on November 11th, 2017 826 W.
