The Louisiana Department of Veterans Affairs opened their second Veterans Cemetery in 2012. Located on two hundred acres donated by the U.S. Army, the cemetery is open to members of any U.S. military branch, their spouse and dependent children. It is open daily for visitation and has a computerized grave locator available. The AMVETS Memorial Carillon is a living memorial to our nation's deceased veterans whose bells toll as a constant reminder of our debt to those who fought to preserve freedom throughout the world. The bells toll every hour on the hour and play several melodies at 12:00 noon daily. On special holidays, such as Memorial Day and Wreaths Across America, the entrance to the cemetery is spectacularly decked out with an Avenue of Flags. Call 337-238-6405 for more information.
