KELSEYVILLE – The Military Funeral Honors Team of Lake County needs your support.
 
The Lions Club of Kelseyville will sponsor a fundraiser breakfast from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 2, at 4335 Sylar Lane in Kelseyville to raise much-needed funds for the team. Donations ($6 per person suggested) will be gratefully accepted.
 
The Military Funeral Honors Team is made up of volunteers, all veterans of the Armed Forces. It is accredited by the Department of Defense to provide full military honors for veterans who have honorably served their country.  

Military honors includes the firing of three rifle volleys by a team of seven riflemen, the playing of “Taps” and the folding and presentation of a large US flag to the veteran’s next of kin.
 
Since its founding seven years ago, the team has provided honors for more than 600 veterans in Lake County at no cost to the family of the deceased veteran.

No financial support is provided by the Department of Defense, the state of California or the Lake County Veterans Service Office. The team operates solely on donations and an occasional grant.
 
Please come out and support the honors team at breakfast at the Lions Club of Kelseyville.
