Millions of American citizens around the nation, black and white, young and old, rich and poor, celebrated “The American Dream of Freedom” in a tribute to the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Jan. 19.
In Portland, Ore., at the University of Portland’s Chiles center, a grand tribute entitled “Keep Living the Dream” was also celebrated. The Sharon Adventist Pathfinder Club was privileged to execute the color guard duties of posting colors at the opening ceremony.
Dignitaries, public officials, ministers, choirs, African and Irish dancers, and bands participated and the youth of our color guard had an opportunity to shake hands and take pictures with Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski, who was one of the keynote speakers. The Governor was very gracious and our young color guard did an outstanding job. •
Sharon Church Pathfinders from Portland, Ore., posted the colors at a Martin Luther King Day celebration and were able to meet Governor Ted Kulongoski.
