The county’s 25 American Legion Posts honored local police and firefighters at an annual event on March 24.
Former Assemblyman Todd Spitzer served as host because of his past police duty.
Laguna Legionnaire Dave Connell and Legion Auxiliary President Diane Connell hosted Laguna’s honorees, who received several awards: Officer Jason Farris won first place for community service and will compete in the Legion’s state competition; officers George Ramos, Rod MacDonald, and Paul Bixby received commendations for valor; Ramona Lock and Vic Opincar received commendations of merit for their many years as police volunteers.
