Beginning at 9:00 a.m., Sen. Wyden, Rep. Richardson, and Purple Heart recipient Jim Klug will speak at a special ceremony at the city’s new Oregon Fallen War Heroes Memorial to honor every military person killed in the line of duty from statehood to the present.

“This Memorial Day, the citizens of Central Point will honor Oregonians who have sacrificed everything for our freedom and liberty,” Rep. Richardson said. “We thank Sen. Wyden for participating in our ceremony to honor Oregon’s Fallen War Heroes. This will be a special event for Central Point and all of Oregon.”
