Mosier’s annual Memorial Day Parade starts at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, May 25 at the Mosier School parking lot. The parade is open to anyone wishing to honor our veterans who died in the service of our Nation. Everyone… including children, bicycles, antique cars, motorcycles, horses, pets, wagons, or anything else are encouraged to march with Mosier American Legion Post 55, to express your appreciation for our fallen veterans.
Free coffee and donuts will be at the Post 55 Legion Hall (Mosier Library) starting at 8:30. Parade participants should gather on 3rd Street by the Mosier School at 10:00 for the easy, quarter mile parade. Bring your American Flag if you have one. After the parade, we re-group one mile up State Road at the town cemetery, for a memorial ceremony starting at 11:00 a.m.
For over 100 years, Mosier’s Post 55 has been honored to support our community and veterans. Mosier Post 55 does more than organize the annual Memorial Day Parade and honor Veteran’s graves at the town cemetery. Some of the Post’s more recent activities include, donating the drinking fountain at the totem, paving the cemetery ramp, sponsoring a bicycle maintenance station at the Hub, performing cemetery clean up, supporting the Gorge Food Bank, local schools and sponsoring the Mosier Library.
All Armed Forces veterans who want to “Continue to Serve” our community and nation are encouraged to contact Post 55 at MosierAL@hotmail.com or call Kim Owen at 503-858-4020.
