Astoria’s Doughboy marks a century of remembrance
On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, the bells of Astoria rang out once again. A century after its original dedication, the city’s Doughboy Monument — officially known as the Astoria Victory Monument — was rededicated on Veteran’s Day, Nov. 11, honoring the men and women of Clatsop County who served in the First World War and the enduring community effort that raised them a memorial.
