The Russell County Honor Guard was the recipient of a $5,000 grant from the Lake Area Foundation to help fund needed building repairs.
The funds will go toward repair/replacement of the roofing, gutters, and water-damaged drywall of their office on Highway 80 in Russell Springs.
The Honor Guard provides military honor services at the funerals of local veterans at no cost to the family. The Honor Guard building is also a satellite location of the Vet Center in Lexington to provide convenient access to PTSD counseling to veterans across the region.
The office is open to the general public seeking information about Veterans claims processes and is a flag retirement drop-off location.
