One of the highlights of our Lodge is the Richard A. Janigian Memorial. In 1967, 10 days before Richard was to rotate out of Vietnam, he was killed on September 21, 1967. The family was devastated and, as time went by, they began to think about a memorial tribute for him and all the other sons in the State of Oregon that sacrificed their lives in Vietnam. The family searched for a place and, since in those times the controversy about the war was intense all over, could not get approval to construct one in a city park. So the father, Buck, a long-time Beaverton Elk member, approached the Beaverton Elks who were very supportive and anxious to commit to such a memorial. Many Elk members did so much in helping to get the project done. There were volunteers that did the architect drawings, solicited other state Lodges for financial help for materials, etc. Members from Beaverton donated materials and most of all, the members did all the physical labor required to build memorial. It was completed in May 1968 and our then Governer, Tom McCall, came to dedicate the memorial at the official unveiling in June 1968. It was an impressive ceremony. On the sides of the Memorial there is a 1 inch by 8 inch brass plate for each Oregon serviceman lost in Vietnam. Name, rank, branch of service and hometown are enscribed on each. We are very proud to be the 1st memorial erected in the nation that covers an entire state. Come visit us, we would enjoy showing off our Lodge.
