LAKEPORT – Lake County's first participation in the Wreaths Across America ceremony took place this past Saturday.

The ceremony to honor local veterans began precisely at 9 a.m.

Local veterans reported that it brought tears to the eyes of both participants and spectators.

In the years ahead the Patriot Guard Riders and the United Veterans Council Military Funeral Honors Team of Lake County plan to join up to host the Wreaths Across America at Veterans Circle in Hartley Cemetery.
