More Veteran’s High way Signs in Central Oregon

In the next couple weeks, local veterans hope to put up the last signs honoring World War II veterans along Oregon Highways. Veterans advocate Dick Tobiason says the last two signs will go up on Highway 126 near the Prineville Airport: “We are going to put 19 signs up all along the highway have 13 up. We’ll be putting up two more in Prineville.” The signs are going up in Prineville near the Civilian Pilot Training Site during the 1940's. It was an effort to train more military pilots to meet the war's need.
