Kitsap remembers its departed veterans Run to Tahoma, flag retirements this weekend
M
ay 26 is Memorial Day, and this weekend Kitsap residents are participating in several events to remember departed veterans and those who died while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. Six deceased veterans will be honored with words and music at “The Unforgotten, Run to Tahoma V” celebration of life ceremony on May 24, 10:45 a.m., in the plaza of the Kitsap County Administration Building in Port Orchard. Following the ceremony, the veterans’ remains — one of which is unclaimed — will be taken by escort to Tahoma National Cemetery near Kent. “The Unforgotten, Run to Tahoma” ceremony is sponsored by the Kitsap Board of County Commissioners, the Kitsap County Coroner's Office, the Kitsap County
Veterans Advisory Board, and Combat Veterans International. In the past, the ceremony was held at the County Coroner's office in West Bremerton. Because of attendance and lack of parking, the ceremony was moved to the plaza of the County Administration Building, which has ample parking nearby. “The Unforgotten, Run to Tahoma” occurs when the County Coroner has the remains of at least one unclaimed, deceased veteran in his care. This year, that veteran is Walter L. Brown, who served briefly in the U.S. Army during the mid-1950s. He will be joined by five other veterans whose remains were submitted by family members or friends: n Robert J. Brown, usn. n Norman N. Holgate, usn. n Frederick L. Hughes, usn. n Kenneth D. Hughes, usn. n Michael F. Shaughnessy, usn. Walter and Robert Brown are not related, however, Robert is wellknown locally for his
