Most of the 2/218th Field Artillery, of which Adam is a member, will not be home in time for Wednesday's demobilization ceremony in Portland, so they are getting their own ceremony Thursday in Forest Grove, Ore. Originally they were to get no ceremony, but there was major backlash, so the Guard relented.
Thursday's ceremony will be at noon at Forest Grove High School, 1401 Nichols Lane. The troops are expected to arrive at 11 a.m., and families will get to greet them then.
Other demob ceremonies, with information subject to change:
Portland: 2 p.m. Wednesday at the University of Portland's Chiles Center, 5000 N Willamette Blvd.
Eugene: 1:30 p.m. Friday at Lane County Fairgrounds, 796 W 13th Ave.
Medford: 3 p.m. Saturday at Spiegelberg Stadium, 815 S Oakdale Ave.; 3 p.m. April 27 at Medford Armory, 1701 S Pacific Highway

Ah, the irony. Adam returns home on Thursday and my recently married daughter Rebecca leaves for her new home in New Mexico early Wednesday. I'm so glad Adam made it safely through his tour. Have fun together and make up for those many days apart. All the best to you both.
