Veterens Services


We have two Members in our Lodge that are very active in the veterans program. They both work at the VA Admin. in Portland, Ore. They are Peter Perri and Richard Moore.
They both are very helpful in the Lodge and will help any veteran if you have a problem. Thank you to both and keep up the good work.

Richard and I both work at the Portland VA Medical Center. I am the Enrollment Coordinator/Supervisor of Enrollment for the Business Office and Richard is an Accounts Receivables representative.
