While today is Friday, we look forward to celebrating Flag Day on Sunday, June 14 as we honor the Stars and Stripes and all that our flag represents.

The American flag stands as a symbol of freedom, sacrifice, service, and unity. On Flag Day, we remember the generations of Americans who have defended these ideals and proudly served our nation.

May we always honor the flag and those who have served beneath it.

💪🎖️ She raised her right hand. She left her family. She served her country. And today, we honor HER. 🇺🇸

June 12 is Women Veterans Day — a day dedicated to the more than 2 million women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Here in Louisiana, our women veterans are our neighbors, our leaders, and our heroes.

To every woman who wore the uniform — your sacrifice is seen. Your service matters. Your strength inspires us all. 💙

The Louisiana Department of Veterans Affairs is proud to serve YOU. If you're a woman veteran in need of benefits, resources, or support, we are here.

Each quilt represents gratitude, comfort, and appreciation for the sacrifices made by those who served our country. These beautiful quilts are more than fabric and thread—they are heartfelt reminders that our Veterans are seen, valued, and never forgotten.

Thank you to the Teresa Laughlin, who is the leader of Red Hill Girlz, volunteers, families, and all who helped make this special presentation possible.
