Once ideas came in from Continuum of Care, Locke saw the need for Project Homeless Connect in this county. From there the Ow- ensbys and Locke cre- ated this project for the spring time and Recycle the Warmth continued to be held in the fall. Even- tually it was determined the need for these services was greater in the colder months so they combined the two and it became LIFT Tehama.

Dickison served in the Army Air Corps during World War II from 1942 to 1946 flying in troops and supplies in the Pacific The- ater of Operations. Follow- ing his introduction, there was a spontaneous stand- ing ovation given by the crowd. The applause contin- ued a bit later when Bowen asked those who had served in the military to stand. "We are very grateful for your presence here today to share in this honor of our American Veterans," Bowen said. "It is important to re- member and appreciate the sacrifices they have made and the courage they have exhibited while defending our great country. We must remember that veterans are defending us every day of the year. Their bravery and heroism has been demon- strated over and over again from the American Revolu- tion to the present war on terrorism." Veterans are a group that didn't ask to leave their homes and fight on distant battle fields, but did so because they were called to be a part of some- thing bigger than them- selves and were ordinary people who responded in extraordinary ways in ex- treme times, he said. "The veterans we honor today came from all walks of life, but they share many fundamental qual- ities," Bowen said. "They posses courage, pride, de- termination, selflessness, dedication to duty and in- tegrity... Nothing can ever replace the hold left be- hind by a fallen warrior and no number of awards can comfort those left be- hind. Your presence here today and that of people gathering all across Amer- ica is a tribute to our vet- erans and their families. It is a way for us to say to them 'we remember.'" Bowen shared a mes- sage sent to him by As- semblyman James Galla- gher who thanked those taking time to attend the Veterans Day events and asked people to recognize the military families in the community who have sacrificed just as much as the active duty service members and veterans. He asked that the community encourage and support them and also thanked the veterans and those pres- ently serving. "To all the veterans here today and to those all over the country, we salute you for all you have done and all you continue to do," Galla- gher said in his note. "From my family and me, thank you. Thank you for your ser- vice, your dedication, your commitment and your sac- rifices. May God bless you and your families, now and Veterans FROM PAGE 1 Teen Miss Tehama County Kiley King participates in the 2015Corning Veterans Day Parade on Wednesday.

The Associated Press Ninety-seven years ago, an armistice ended World War I, which was then the greatest conflict the world had ever seen. Armistice Day became Veterans Day in the 1950s and now com- memorates the spirit of all U.S. military members. A look at how the day is be- ing observed across the country: Paradesofpride Parades and other cele- brations were held through- out the country. New York City hosted its 96th annual parade, the largest celebra- tion of service in the nation. "America's Parade" featured more than 20,000 partici- pants, including marching bands, floats, veterans and military units.

Obama seeks better care for vets President Barack Obama laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns and urged the nation to keep veterans in their thoughts long after Veterans Day. In a ceremony at Arling- ton National Cemetery, Obama said the nation is boosting funding for the Department of Veterans Af- fairs and making progress on long-standing issues of veteran homelessness and in reducing a backlog of dis- ability claims. Still, he said, other prob- lems must be addressed. "The unacceptable prob- lems that we've seen, like long wait times and some veterans not getting the timely care that they need, is a challenge for all of us if we are to match our words with deeds," Obama said. Homes for homeless veterans The federal government announced that Louisville is the first city in Kentucky to eradicate veteran homeless- ness. The city housed more than 400 veterans in the last year. And in Virginia, Gov. Terry McAuliffe says the state has found permanent homes for 1,400 veterans in the past year.
