Steven Beach, Assistant Adjutant General – Army, who represented the Oregon National Guard at the event said, “It is my hope that communities throughout the state will continue to appreciate members of the military as first-line defenders of the freedoms we enjoy in this great country." The Round-Up first began in 1910 and has continued nearly every year since, expect for two years during World War II. (Photo by Capt. Leslie Reed, 41st Infantry Brigade Combat Team Public Affairs)
