Saluting veterans

LakePoint Community Church’s Veterans Ministry hosted its annual picnic and barbecue for veterans, both local and homeless, and their family members on Saturday. Paying their respects to the flag and singing along to the National Anthem are World War II veteran Bud Abbott (left), of Orion Township, and Rev. Bob Holt, associate pastor of LakePoint Community Church. Abbott was a pilot in the U.S. Army Air Corps and flew P-51 Mustangs, which were long-range fighters. Photo by C.J. Carnacchio.
