We’re asking families, friends, and communities across Louisiana to share a comment or post honoring their World War II Veteran so others can help celebrate them too.

📸 What to include in your comment or post:
-A photo of the Veteran
-Their name
-Branch of service
-Rank (if known)
-A favorite memory, story, or reflection

Leave a comment, 🏷️ Tag us, or use so we can help share their story.

🎖️ Louisiana Veterans Honor Medal
If your World War II Veteran has not yet received the Louisiana Veterans Honor Medal, we’d be honored to help. Information about eligibility and the application process is available by clicking this link https://vetaffairs.la.gov/louisiana-veterans-honor-medal.

This generation answered the call when the world needed them most. Let’s honor them — now, while we still can.

🌲 Today is the Day — Wreaths Across America 🌲

Today, communities across the country are coming together to remember and honor our nation’s veterans. If your local veterans cemetery is placing wreaths as part of Wreaths Across America, we encourage you to attend, volunteer, or take a moment to reflect.

We have over 3,500 wreaths to place today, come out and join us to show your respect to those who have earned it.

Each wreath represents gratitude, respect, and a promise that our veterans will never be forgotten 🇺🇸

Thank you to the volunteers, families, and supporters who help make this meaningful tribute possible.

The holiday season brings joy for many, but it can also be an incredibly difficult time for some in our military and veteran community.
Some are facing their first holiday without a loved one.
Some are deployed or have a loved one deployed.
Others may be feeling the weight of loneliness, stress, or grief.

As part of the Governor’s Challenge to Prevent Su***de Among Service Members, Veterans, and Their Families, we are sharing this updated Louisiana SMVF Resource Card to ensure every service member, veteran, and family member knows that support is here — 24/7.

Please save and share this resource card. You never know who might need it today.

If you or someone you know needs help:
📞 Dial 988, then Press 1 for the Veterans Crisis Line
📱 Call 225-219-5000 for LDVA assistance
🌐 Scan the QR code or visit: https://linktr.ee/LaGovernorsChallenge

This holiday season, let’s check on one another, lift up those who may be struggling, and remind our military and veteran families that they are not alone — not during the holidays, and not ever.
