Upcoming area events salute our local veterans
MISSION
By TAMMY MALGESINI
COMMUNITY EDITOR
Each year on Nov. 11, cit-
izens across the country take
time to honor those who
have served in the nation’s
military.
Initially called Armi-
stice Day, a 1919 procla-
mation was made by Pres-
ident Woodrow Wilson,
which commemorated the
agreement to end the war —
occurring at the at the 11th
hour of the 11th day of the
11th month in 1918. Accord-
ing to the Oregon Depart-
ment of Veteran’s Affairs,
the holiday was renamed in
1954 to recognize the patri-
otism and sacrifi ces of veter-
ans who continued to serve
the country.
For a brief time, the date
changed from yearly to
ensure a three-day weekend.
However, in 1978, the origi-
nal Nov. 11 date was revived
to preserve the signifi cance
of the date. With Veterans
Day just around the corner
— Monday, Nov. 11 — area
schools, groups and even
restaurants are planning spe-
cial events of activities.
