What began as one man's way of honoring his country has grown, a lot. Oregon Avenue is closed off between 10th and 11th Streets to accommodate thousands of visitors, military and civilian, who have come from all over the United States to celebrate the occasion in “Wags” memory. Happy Birthday Marines!
