LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — On Memorial Day — Monday, May 27 — 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 avenue of the county cemeteries.

Veterans flags will be flown at the following cemeteries: Lower Lake, Hartley in Lakeport, Kelseyville and Upper Lake.

Organizers ask community members to help respect veterans by volunteering to help place the flags at the participating cemeteries between 6:30 and 8 a.m. on Memorial Day, weather permitting.

Taking down of 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 participating cemeteries would be greatly appreciated.

Information is available from Mike Dean, coordinator of the Avenue of the Flags, at 510-206-6531.
