Military Funeral Honors Team plans Aug. 14 breakfast

KELSEYVILLE – The Military Funeral Honors Team of Lake County and the Kelseyville Lions Club will co-host a pancake breakfast on Sunday, Aug. 14 from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. at 4335 Sylar Lane. Suggested donation is $6 for pre-sale and $7 at the door.


The team renders military honors at veteran funerals. The all-volunteer honors team is comprised of veterans from all branches of the military. Team members currently include those who have served in World War II, Korea, Vietnam and Operation Iraqi Freedom.


The moving ceremonies that are final tributes to those who proudly served the nation include the traditional rifle volleys, folding of the flag and playing of taps. To date, more than 750 local veterans have been honored.


Some of the ongoing costs for the honors team include uniforms, ammunition, rifle maintenance, insurance, bus maintenance and fuel. The team provides honors at no charge to veterans’ families and relies on donations and fundraising.


Community support is needed to ensure the team’s continued existence. The Military Funeral Honors Team of Lake County is proud to serve their community and to honor their departed comrades.


Advance tickets may be purchased from any team member. For further information call Larry at 707-272-5615.
