On Saturday, though, roughly 100 young men and women who have enlisted in the U.S. military were the featured guests at another ceremony, this one at the Fort Vancouver Artillery Barracks.
The event is part of the “Our Community Salutes” series, put on by the Community Military Appreciation Committee. This was the annual salute to future military service members.
Army. Navy. Air Force. Marines. They were all represented. The individuals came from all over the Northwest, but most were from Clark County and some from the Portland area.
