Always Remember
Here, we honor the memory of the fallen; those from our Tri-Cities communities who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. We invite you to pause and reflect on the lives of local heroes who once called our neighborhoods home. Travis Dwight Pfister and Daniel Leonard Wagenaar are two such veterans whose legacy lives on through the Wagenaar-Pfister House, one of the transitional homes operated by the Columbia Basin Veterans Center. Their names stand as a lasting tribute to courage, sacrifice, and service.
