Good Morning!,
Another wonderful Salute to Veterans Car & Motorcycle Show was held on August 10th. Even with the threat of rain (which didn’t materialize) the event was very successful. We had almost 400 vehicles including a huge assortment of beautiful cars, motorcycles, military vehicles and city/county vehicles. Three amazing helicopters landed to the delight of the attendees…a Huey, a Loach and a Black Hawk! There was Optimus Prime and his partner the ‘Veteran’ Truck. Star Wars & Super Heroes roamed around, and Miss Oregon greeted attendees and helped with trophy presentations. The Tribute to Veterans Ceremony was a highlight of the event, our silent auction/raffle were a huge success, and the Corral Creek Blue Grass and Got Your Six Rock & Roll Bands were terrific!
Thank you to all of our wonderful sponsors, our volunteers, our vendors and our participants who made it all possible. Because of your generosity, you time and your donations we were able to raise almost $30,000 this year. (this brings the total raised in these eight Show fundraisers to just under a quarter million dollars…all for the veterans, as we are able to get so many budget items donated. We will be using our proceeds this year to purchase a passenger van for the newly opened Veterans Village, a transitional tiny house village for 15 veterans in Clackamas. There is no mass transit nearby so this will allow residents to get to services and resources.
Please keep spreading the word to help with more awareness so we can continue to grow. Also let me know what suggestions you have to make it even better in 2020. It will be held on August 8, 2020…same place…same time, so mark your calendars!
We would like to add photos to our website so if you took some, would you please send them to me??
Take Care,
Lynn Kirwan

Fisher House Foundation
The Fisher House is a nonprofit place for families of soldiers that are in the Hospital. It is like staying in a 5 star hotel, the food is supplied and it has laundry facilities. It is a tax deductible donation when you help them to help Veterans families. My Wife has stayed in one several different times when I was in for an extended stay. It is a wonderful benefit that truly helps the Veteran know their family is safe and comfortable when staying with them. Thanks for your Help. Bear

Julia Western: Senior Designer
Thank you for allowing us to participate in the Veteran's Car Show at the Washington County Fairgrounds! It's always been a great show and it just keeps getting better. The Fairgrounds is a great location, the cars are incredible and there is something for just about everyone. The Military vehicles are always a hit, and it's a great time to say "thank you for your service" to the Veterans. Thank you for all you do, Lynn! Looking forward to August 10th, 2019!

As a Veteran, this was my first time to enter this show with our car, a 2014 Mustang. My wife and I are members of the Mustang Wranglers and I can safely say that our members enjoyed participating and will no doubt be there next year as well to support this event. As a Vietnam Veteran I personally wish to make a comment about the respect shown to us Veterans for our service and it was a day we could share some stories and celebrate our services without the thought of being looked down upon. I have never had so many come up to us and say thank you. It was very heartwarming. The service where you had the programs and speakers was first class, and well received as well. Again, Thank you and we will see you next year! Bill & Cindy Mixon

We have been involved with the Veterans Car Show since the first show in 2012. It has been (and still is) a great show. The main power behind the show is Lynn, whom I refer to as the human dynamo, she’s got so much energy. She may be small in stature, but then so was the Tasmanian devil! The (and truck, motorcycle, military vehicle, helicopter, etc.) show is a great event to attend, especially if you want to see a big variety of different types of vehicles. Every year, the show has gotten larger, and has brought in an even bigger variety of equipment. What started out as a small show of around 100 vehicles has now grown to be upwards of between 400 and 500 vehicles. But of course, the main reason for the show is to honor Veterans, and to help support the facilities and agencies that work for and with Veterans as well. I personally have seen the results of this, and it’s been most gratifying. Being a Veterans myself, it gives me great pleasure to see the good that the show does for Veterans. It is also a very good time to meet and interact with other fellow Veterans as well. The show is probably one of the best is the area, if not the region. 2019 will be it’s eighth year, and as they say ‘on with the show’!
