Oregon has a long, truly remarkable tradition of formal, civic observance of Memorial Day<\/a>, the last Monday of every May set aside from work, under federal law, to remember those who have died during their U.S. military service. The diversity and depth of Memorial Day commemorations around the state testify to the power and dedication of Oregon’s people. Over the years, local veterans groups, supporting municipal governments and citizens in each area of Oregon have helped organize and attend these ceremonial Memorial Day events. As a result, Oregonians are fortunate to have many Memorial Day observances across the State<\/a> from which to choose. Each commemoration reflects a community’s unique local customs. Each is tinged with its own richness and meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n
