The Lake Area Foundation, Inc. is proud to present a $5,000 grant award from the Russell County Development Fund to the Russell County Honor Guard for the 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, KY to provide more convenient access to PTSD counseling to veterans all across the region. Additionally, the office is open to the general public seeking information about Veterans claims processes and is a flag retirement drop-off location.

We are honored to have this opportunity to support Lake Cumberland's veterans and would like to thank the Russell Co. Honor Guard for all they do for our communities and for their service!
