Veterans to be honored “An Historic Reserve Reveille for Our Veterans” is the theme of this year’s 22nd annual Celebrate Freedom Veterans Day Parade. The parade gets underway tomorrow, November 8 at 11 a.m. The Department of Defense-sanctioned annual parade is organized by The Vancouver National Historic Reserve Trust as one of the Celebrate Freedom programs. Click here to visit the Parade website. Due to road construction on Main Street, there will be a slight change to the parade route. As usual, the parade begins at the corner of East Reserve Street and Evergreen Boulevard and proceeds west along Officers Row toward downtown Vancouver. The altered route takes place after the parade crosses I-5 along Evergreen. The parade will turn south onto “C” Street, follow “C” for two blocks to Regal City Center 12 Cinema, then turn west onto Eighth Street. The parade resumes the normal route travelling east on Eighth Street and ends at Esther Short Park. Street closures will occur starting at 8 a.m. in the parade lineup areas along Evergreen Boulevard and at 10:30 a.m. along the parade route. The parade begins at 11 a.m. with the firing of the Howitzer cannons on the Parade Ground at the Historic Reserve. The parade will take place
rain or shine. Participants and parade goers should be prepared for all
weather conditions. C-TRAN bus routes in downtown Vancouver also will be
changed due to the parade. For details about bus route changes, please

dedicates flagpole, honors veterans Clark College today dedicated the flagpole that now graces the area near the college’s Welcome Center at the Penguin Union Building. Clark College President Bob Knight, Vancouver Mayor Royce Pollard, Associated Students of Clark College (ASCC) President Pat Mehigan and Jenny Grimani, President of the Student Veterans of America at Clark College, were among the speakers. Mayor Pollard described the flag as a symbol known throughout the world. The mayor said that the flag is loved by some and hated by others for the same reason: “because it symbolizes freedom and liberty.” Grimani noted that, when she entered the armed forces, her grandparents put a flag in front of their home so that, no matter where she was, she would know that the flag was flying and that she “was supported and loved.” Oregon Air National Guard planning Veterans Day flyovers The Oregon Air National Guard
