The Bear Valley Springs veterans Association held a flag ceremony on September 11 at the Flag Center, Cub Lake, to commemorate the first responders who sacrificed their lives that drastic day.
They also held a ceremony for member Todd Lander at his book signing on September 27 at Dorner Winery. Mr. Lander’s book is about his tour in Vietnam from 1968-69, and is entitled “Bound For War: A Memoir of Love, Friendship, and Survival.” A three round gunfire salute showed respect to those who did not return from war. The event was well attended by many members of the community. Mr. Lander has been a long-time member of the BVS Association Board and is well known for his service there and for being an active golfer over the years.
