PORTLAND, Ore. ( KOIN ) – The Oregon Military Department announced that the 142 nd Wing of the Oregon Air National Guard will fly out of the Portland Air National Guard Base to conduct flyovers for Veterans Day ceremonies and parades across the state.
Colonel Todd Hofford, the 142 nd Wing Commander, said they are proud to be conducting the flyovers.
Linn County won’t enforce Measure 114 if passed, sheriff says “We appreciate the opportunity to honor those that have served before us,” said Hofford. “The demonstration of air superiority on this day is a great reminder to all of us how fortunate we are to be citizens of this country.
