Memorial Day: Gold Star Family marker to be dedicated

The St. Helens Garden Club invites all Gold Star Families and donors from Columbia County to join is on Memorial Day at the Veterans Park in Columbia City at 11:00 a.m. as we honor and celebrate all our veterans.

At that time, there will be the dedication of the new Gold Star Memorial Marker, honoring those families whose sons and daughters made the supreme sacrifice for our Freedom.

Thank you to all our donors for making this possible, but especially to The St. Helens Elks Lodge #1999, American Legion Post 42, City of Columbia City, the Columbia River PUD, St. Helens Garden Club, and the Oregon Roadside Council.

If you are a Gold Star Family, please let us know before the ceremony so that we may acknowledge you when you arrive at the park. You can do so by emailing chiotti1@gmail.com or calling 503-397-0805.

We hope to see everyone on May 27.
