COLUSA, CA (MPG) – The Colusa Rural Fire Department Association hosted a dinner honoring local veterans Nov. 4. During the evening, the association presented the Colusa County Veterans Association with a $5,000 donation.

The donation will go toward fundraising efforts to purchase and install two bronze statues at Colusa Veterans Memorial Park, in front of the park’s flagpoles. The statues will serve as a lasting tribute to the men and women who have served the nation and a reminder of the sacrifices made to protect its freedoms.

The check was presented by Heath Krug of the Colusa Rural Fire Department and accepted on behalf of the Colusa County Veterans Association by Bill Tanner and Dennis Sanders.

The Colusa County Veterans Association expressed its appreciation to the Colusa Rural Fire Department for its generosity and continued commitment to honoring Colusa County veterans. The donation brings the association closer to completing the memorial project.
