Our Community Salutes 275 High School Seniors

Our Community Salutes 275 high school seniors at a future military service members’ recognition ceremony on April 26, at 1:00 p.m., at Skyview High School located at 1300 NW 139th Street, Vancouver, WA 98686.

The 4th Annual event is hosted by the Our Community Salutes Committee of Portland, Vancouver and Clark County which is comprised of local veterans, educators, community members and business leaders who are interested in recognizing young men and women who have answered the call to duty. This is the largest Our Community Salutes event in the northwest and is open to the public but with limited seating.

This is a community event to honor and show our support for future military service members as they embark on an incredible journey. These amazing young men and women have taken one of the most difficult steps a high school aged person can take. They have dedicated a portion of their own life to help make a difference in the world. This event will provide an opportunity to meet these future heroes and hear some of their stories as to why they enlisted in the military. These future military service members are the future leaders of your community.

The U.S. military prepares and gives our youth an opportunity to serve their country while they prepare for their future in a variety of occupational areas. Special guest speakers will represent the past, present and future military service members. This event is sponsored by MacKay Sposito with other donations. Light refreshments will be provided.

CMAC executes and plans community-wide events, such as the Memorial Day, Veterans Day, High School Salute, and POW/MIA Day ceremonies and recognition/support of military families of all services.
