22nd Annual Veterans Day Parade in Bend Draws Crowds to Express Gratitude and Honor for Those Who Served Our Country

Bend, OR - The 22nd annual Bend Veterans Day Parade honored American veterans, featuring J.W. Terry as the grand marshal, a local Vietnam veteran. Thousands lined the streets, waving flags and saluting. The parade, organized by Central Oregon Veterans Outreach, involved over 400 volunteers and 2,000 participants. The theme was "Thank You for Your Service: Veterans Serve Their Country and Their Community." Terry, with 32 years of service, reflected on emotions and the importance of recognizing active-duty personnel. The event celebrated veterans' contributions beyond the military. Terry, nominated by veterans' groups, exemplifies ongoing service, and sponsors included Gary Gruner Chevrolet Buick GMC and Mid Oregon Credit Union.

Related: Veterans were also celebrated in ‘Flag City USA’ Redmond with their very own parade.

The Redmond streets were lined with hundreds of flags and people honoring veterans.A Vietnam veteran told Central Oregon Daily what it meant to him.“Being from Salem they’re pretty patriotic there too, but nothing like this. This is great, the first time I saw those flags it was humbling. I thought gosh, I’m in the right place,” said Owen Herzberg, a Vietnam Veteran.

Two F-15 Eagle fighter jets flew overhead 1,000 feet of elevation at 400 mph. making it a grand finale to Redmond’s annual parade.

Fishing in Central Oregon during late fall is viable despite the cooler weather.

Anglers can target trout in the Crooked River, particularly below Bowman Dam, where whitefish spawn, attracting redband trout. Fly fishing with egg patterns is effective.

The Metolius River, known for wild rainbows and bull trout, allows catch-and-release fly-fishing with barbless hooks.

The Deschutes River section below Benham Falls offers productive fly-fishing for rainbow and brown trout during fall. Nymphing is effective, but dry-fly fishing is an option on overcast days.

Wait WHAT? Samson Sky’s Flying Car leaves ground for first time.

The Switchblade, a flying sports car designed and tested in Redmond and Prineville, successfully completed its maiden flight at Moses Lake Airport, Washington, the flight lasted 6 minutes. After 14 years of design and testing, the CEO sees this as a significant milestone toward meeting the high demand for the vehicle, with over 2,300 reservations from 57 countries. The Switchblade can drive up to 125 mph, fly at a max speed of 190 mph, and uses unleaded auto gas. Owners can transform it from a street-legal car to a flying mode in under three minutes, requiring a private pilot’s license. Priced at around $170,000, the purchase includes a program where owners assemble their vehicle in Central Oregon with no special skills required.
