Governor Ted Kulongoski

Governor Victor Atiyeh

Former Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski is a passionate supporter of Oregon Veterans. During his eight years as Governor, he attended almost every mobilization and demobilization ceremony for Oregon National Guardsmen and comforted families and friends at nearly every funeral of those who did not make it home. A former Marine, Kulongoski has the heart of a Veteran. During his time as Governor, from 2003 to 2011, he became known as the “soldier’s Governor,” supporting legislation to help Veterans readjust to civilian life and find jobs. In 2012, Kulongoski joined the faculty at Portland State University in the school’s Mark O. Hatfield School of Government.

Governor Vic Atiyeh was a true friend to Oregon’s military. His resolute dedication as Honorary Co-chair of the Oregon Military Museum campaign and his continued support of Oregon’s military veterans will always be appreciated. “We salute you and miss you.”

OREGON MILITARY MUSEUM HALL OF VALOR

Tonight we honor and induct two World War II Veterans.

DAVID KINGSLEY recipient of THE MEDAL OF HONOR Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army Air Corps, 97th Bombardment Group, 15th Air Force On 23 June, 1944 near Ploesti, Rumania, Kingsley was the bombardier of a severely flak-damaged B17. Despite having dropped out of formation the B17 stayed on course and Kingsley successfully bombed the target. While flying home, Kingsley’s B17 was attacked by 11 ME-109 fighters that severely wounded the tail gunner and ball turret gunner. Kingsley successfully bandaged them saving their lives. After the attack, the B17’s pilot gave the order to bail out. Kingsley immediately assisted his wounded crewmen in putting on their parachutes and exiting the plane, but the tail gunner’s harness had gone missing in the bundle of clothes removed from the wounded men prior to bandaging. At this moment, Kingsley unhesitatingly removed his own parachute harness and adjusted it to the wounded tail gunner.

When the crew bailed out, Kingsley was last seen standing on the bomb bay catwalk.

His body was later found in the wreckage. Kingsley was directly responsible for saving the life of the wounded gunner and awarded the Medal of Honor.

MARION E. CARL recipient of THE NAVY CROSS WITH GOLD STAR Major General Marion E. Carl, the Marine Corps’ first air ace, led an impressive career with over 35 years’ service. Carl was a veteran of World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. In World War II, Carl scored 18 kills, and led a Marine fighter squadron in the Battle of Midway. In an aerial battle over Guadalcanal, Carl was shot down and bailed out into the ocean. He was saved by friendly natives, who got him back to his unit. After the war, Carl became a test pilot and was the first Marine helicopter pilot, set a world speed record, and set an unofficial world altitude record. Carl also commanded the first Marine fighter jet unit, and created the first jet aerobatic team. In Vietnam, Carl commanded Task Force 79, and was Assistant Wing Commander of the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing. General Carl’s list of decorations included: the Navy Cross with gold star; the Legion of Merit with Combat “V” and gold star; and the Distinguished Flying Cross with four gold stars. He was tragically killed on 28 June, 1998 during a robbery at his home in Roseburg, Oregon.
