LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — On Veterans Day — Monday, Nov. 11 — the flags of fallen veterans will be flown at cemeteries throughout Lake County.
The Avenue of Flags members, with the help of volunteers, will install flagpoles and mount large flags which once draped the caskets of fallen veterans along the avenues of the county cemeteries.
Veteran flags will be flown at the following cemeteries: Lower Lake Cemetery, Hartley Cemetery in Lakeport, Kelseyville Cemetery and Upper Lake Cemetery.
Organizers are asking for community members to assist by volunteering in set up and breakdown of the display on Veterans Day.
The flag displays will be set up at each of the participating cemeteries from 6:30 to 8 a.m., weather permitting.
Taking down of the flags and poles will happen at various times starting at around 3 p.m. but check with the coordinators at each site for the exact time.
They will conclude the day with the folding of the flags.
Anyone willing to volunteer at any of the above mentioned cemeteries would be greatly appreciated.
