According to their website, “For more than 20 years, Chinook Winds Casino Resort, owned and operated by the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, has spearheaded the Annual Celebration of Honor, a public event that honors active-duty personnel, military veterans, and their families. Chinook Winds Casino Resort is proud to continue the tradition of honoring our men and women who have served, and are serving, our country. Explore Lincoln City is doing a special float drop to help honor our veterans and active-duty men and women. The Veteran Services tent is back this year on Friday, September 13th from 10am to 4pm and Saturday, September 14th from 10am to 1pm.

On Wednesday, September 11, Veterans and active-duty personnel can stop by the Winners Circle to register and show proof of military service (DD-214 or other Military ID), to receive a free dining voucher valid through September 15, 2024. Winners Circle membership is required to pick up a voucher.

We are excited to bring back the veteran services tent this year on Friday, September 13th from 10am to 4pm and Saturday, September 14th from 10am to 1pm. Interested veteran service providers and organizations may join us at no cost. Please call 541-996-5766 for more information.
