🇺🇸 It's Flag Day!

Old Glory. 50 stars. 13 stripes. And every single one of them means something.

Today we honor the American flag — the symbol our veterans carried into battle, draped over caskets, and brought home with pride.

To Louisiana's more than 250,000 veterans: thank you for defending everything that flag represents. 🙏

Drop a 🇺🇸 in the comments and tell us what the flag means to you!

📌 The Louisiana Department of Veterans Affairs is proud to serve those who served under it.

🎂 251 years old and STILL the most powerful Army on the face of the earth! 🎂🇺🇸

On June 14, 1775 — before the United States of America even existed — the Continental Army was established. Think about that. The Army came FIRST. It literally fought for this nation to be born.

251 years of standing watch. 251 years of answering the call. 251 years of sending the bravest among us into the most dangerous places on earth — so the rest of us never have to.

Louisiana is home to thousands of proud Army veterans and soldiers serving right now. We see you. We honor you. We are so incredibly proud of you. 💪🎖️

Happy Birthday, U.S. Army. Here's to 251 more. 🥂

👇 Army veterans — sound off in the comments! What year did you serve? 🎂

Huge Thank You to the Port Barre community for today’s VFW Buddy Poppy Drive. It is always great to get out and engage with you all.

We hold a drive for Veteran’s Day and Memorial Day. These drives serve multiple purposes. #1 is to celebrate our veterans and to remember those that gave the ultimate sacrifice in service of our nation. #2 is to engage with the community and to hopefully welcome more veterans into our post. #3 is to collect donations to purchase the flags and buddy poppies from the VFW who employ disabled veterans to produce them. Donations are also used to help with our post operating costs, veteran outreach/support, and community projects.

We would love to see our post grow as it is the smallest in the district and one of the smallest in the state. We meet the second Monday of the month at 1800. Please reach out if you are a qualified veteran and would like more details. Also, please keep our aging and ill warriors in your prayers.
