Monday is Veterans Day and I hope you can take time to honor—in your own way—the veterans who served our country, whether it is by watching or participating in the Veterans Day parade at 11 a.m., attending the community potluck hosted by the VFW Post and Auxiliary 2471 at the Oregon Veterans’ Home following the parade, or by showing your appreciation by volunteering year-round at the Wasco County Veterans Service Office.

Stonehenge and World War I will be the subject of the first 2019 Regional History Forum Saturday, Feb. 2, 1:30 p.m. at the Original Wasco County Courthouse, 410 W. Second Place, The Dalles.

On Monday, Wasco County will pay respects to the men and women who have served in our armed forces with several events, including a parade through the downtown blocks at 11 a.m. that will be followed by a potluck at the Oregon Veterans’ Home. To commemorate the end of the Great War, the Chronicle staff decided to list some of the most interesting facts.
