Honoring William Cannon, Only Patriot Buried in Oregon.

Every year we honor William Cannon, the only Revolutionary War Soldier buried in Oregon with a wreath during our Wreaths across America program. Above, Michael Tieman, Lewis & Clark chapter President, Oregon SAR Vice President and member of the Oregon SAR Color Guard does the honors of laying the wreath.

Our Chapter was busy this afternoon laying wreaths on the graves of America’s veterans and firing a volley in honor of their service.   The money we raise on the sale of wreaths goes to the ORWM fund. This is our third year with the Wreaths across America.
