The WA State Fallen Heroes Project, in collaboration with Gold Star Families of Washington, will host a “Trees of Heroes” event from noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 23, at Ashtown Brewing, 1145 11th Ave., Longview. This event will allow attendees to help decorate a tree with ornaments representing post-9/11 fallen heroes. Families of the fallen will be present to share memories and honor their loved ones. Visitors may place ornaments on trees in honor of those who have passed. Veterans to be honored are from across the region, including Battle Ground.
“As we come together this holiday season, we invite everyone to honor and remember the fallen heroes who gave their lives in service to our country,” Keirsten Lyons, director of the WA State Fallen Heroes Project said in a news release. “This initiative is a powerful reminder of the courage and sacrifice of our service members and their families. We hope these trees inspire everyone to reflect on the true meaning of service and sacrifice.”…
