LAKEPORT, Calif. – Hundreds of people of all ages gathered on Saturday to take part in Lake County’s annual commemoration of Veterans Day.
Konocti Vista Casino in Lakeport once again hosted the event.
The “Friends of the Veteran Award” went to Jennifer Ingram, who directs the Clear Lake High School Band, and her band students for their contributions to the event every year.
“We’re really grateful to be a part of this ceremony to honor veterans,” Ingram said.
Receiving the “Veteran of the Year Award” were Navy veterans Peg and Don McCown for their many contributions to their fellow veterans, including involvement in the Military Funeral Honors Team, Operation Tango Mike and the construction of Veterans Circle at Hartley Cemetery in Lakeport.
In addition to plaques, the award winners received congressional commendations.
