Description
It all started at the Siletz Valley School in 1985 as a simple way to say thank you to local veterans. On that day, about a dozen veterans showed up for a school assembly, but before long the November gathering became an annual tradition, attracting as many as 100 veterans at its height. Nearly four decades later, it remains an honored tradition that sees the whole community involved, from U.S. flags flying downtown to breakfast at the Siletz Grange and a reception at the school capping the day.
