Local veterans organizations will honor Sisters veterans who have died over the past year in an observance on Saturday, August 17, at noon at Village Green Park.

The names of the veterans are placed on a memorial at the park.

“We installed 22 new names to this memorial for the year 2019,” said American Legion Post Commander Lance Trowbridge. “These are veterans who lived here in Sisters and have passed on.”

There will be a prayer given in remembrance of these veterans, and the names of the veterans will be read out loud.

“I would like to meet some of the family members and learn the story of their life,” said Trowbridge. “I would put it in a special file of the American Legion

Post 86.”
