Canyon Lake veterans honored with yard flags

One of the goals of the Veterans Day Committee is to make Canyon Lake veterans and active duty service members feel appreciated. The committee will continue its tradition this year of placing an American flag in the yard of every veteran and active duty service person who is registered with the City of Canyon Lake.

The flags are donated by residents Warren Kelsey and Jack Wamsley. Warren and Jack were among the men who helped spearhead Canyon Lake to cityhood and served on the first Canyon Lake City Council.

The Canyon Lake Ladies of the Lake group prepare the flags for the volunteers by grouping them and tying a yellow ribbon around each one. Veterans Day Committee members and community volunteers place the flags in the yards a few days prior to Veterans Day.

The list of veterans was assembled by residents registering with the city. Registration is reserved for veterans and active duty service members who currently reside in Canyon Lake or are former residents of Canyon Lake but have a family member who still resides in Canyon Lake. The list is updated annually. Those who already registered with the city do not need to register annually.

The registered names are also added to the veterans banner that hangs inside the City Hall building and displayed at the annual Veterans Day Celebration in the Towne Center.

The following individuals are registered with the city and will have their name displayed on the banner and a flag placed in their front yard:
