The installation was named in honor of the former governor for his support of Oregon’s Citizen-Soldiers and Airmen. Kulongoski, Oregon’s longest standing wartime governor, who served as commander-in-chief of the Oregon National Guard, attended almost all of the Oregon National Guard’s deployment ceremonies and the funerals of Oregon service members killed overseas during his two terms in office. “Always a Marine, Always a Soldier, forever an Oregonian,” Courtney said of Kulongoski during his speech.
