What a wonderful Memorial Day Observance and Community Picnic that we experienced today in Tualatin. At the Winona Cemetery we had several patriotic speakers that inspired and reminded us of the meaning and purpose of this solemn day:
Dale Potts, emcee
Jerry Larsen, honored Vietnam War veteran
Suzanne Bonamici, US Congresswoman
Tualatin Police Honor Guard
Tualatin High Crimsonnairs
Richard Devlin, State Senator
Julie Parrish, State Representative
Lou Ogden, Tualatin Mayor
George Bowlsby, United Methodist Church
Phyllis Houston, Tualatin VFW Auxiliary
Kathy Walsh, VFW Auxiliary
Immediately following the Observance we met as a community for a free picnic at the Tualatin Community Park thanks to the donations from so many local businesses:
