Moment of silence planned for Veterans Day

From City Councilor Rod Runyon:

Several groups are set to gather on Veterans Day to pay respects to Veterans and Active Duty men and women at 11 a.m. and thereafter.

Called the Eleventh Month - Eleventh Day - Eleventh Hour, Rod Runyon said the events hosted by several groups is in response to the cancellation of the Annual Veterans Day Parade in The Dalles.

The following groups will host a brief gathering at Kelly View Point Memorial across from Sorosis Park. Masks are required and Physical Distancing is requested.
- Mid Columbia Veterans Memorial Committee Inc.
- Point Man Ministries
- Patriot Guard Riders
- Gorge Gospel Riders

“First, we ask that at 11 a.m., no matter where you are, please take a moment to stand silently and pay respects to our valued Veterans, and while you are at it, throw in an extra prayer for our Active Duty Men and Women,” Runyon wrote. “Then if you are available, we invite you to join us at 11:30 a.m. at the Kelly View Point Memorial, across from Sorosis Park The Dalles. Bring a chair if you wish. We will have a 30-minute offering of respect and prayers in support of all those who have served our Nation and those that are serving.”
