Looking for support to honor veterans

The American Legion Hodges Post 84, Oroville Washington, is requesting that the State Department of Transportation honor the Veterans of the Vietnam War by dedicating State Route 20, from the Idaho border to the Skagit County line in Western Washington. Hodges Post 84 hopes to recognize the sacrifices made by Vietnam Veterans to the State of Washington and to the United States of America with this dedication.

I will be asking our State representatives in Olympia and from Washington DC to help support this effort. I will be asking all of the representatives of all three counties and cities in Stevens, Ferry and Okanogan to write letters of support.

But first I am asking you to write a letter of support and help us in our effort to honor those Veterans of the Vietnam War. As a member of Hodges Post 84 and project chair, I

am asking you to send your letter to Arnie Marchand, P.O. Box 1945, Oroville, WA 98844-1945; And ask your city, county and State representatives to do the same. Thank you all for your time and consideration.
