Everything else in life they put on hold to answer the call to serve.
In their honor Gov. John Bel Edwards and the Louisiana Department of Veterans Affairs unveiled the brand new “Never Forget Garden” to honor their sacrifice.
Edwards said the garden was a statewide volunteer project by the Louisiana members of the American Rose Society, the Louisiana Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and the Louisiana Garden Club Federation.
Located at the Veteran’s Memorial Park next to the Louisiana State Capitol, the garden serves as a memorial for those who served in the armed forces and are from Louisiana.
Both active and retired veterans gathered to celebrate yesterday’s ceremony and share what Veterans Day means to them.
The garden is free and open to the public for anyone who wishes to stop and pay their respects to our war heroes who have passed.
