A message from Our Veterans Memorial Park
Our community has been raising funds to build “Our Veterans Memorial Park” in Washington Parish to pay tribute to veterans. On Memorial Day, more progress was realized when we raised the first three flags in the center of the lighted plaza – the majestic USA flag, the Louisiana State flag, and the POW flag. A soft raising was held with committee members as the site is still under construction.

Our fundraising campaign is continuing to raise money through community donations, NGO Funding, memorial bricks, tee shirt and cap sales, along with planned fundraiser events. You can order personalized bricks to pay tribute or honor a Veteran, loved one, organization, etc. We offer different colors of T-shirts and caps for sale. You can order from our website by visiting www.ourvetspark.org or message any committee member. Purchases may also be made by visiting the offices of Senator Beth Mizell and Bill Arata. Please follow our progress and upcoming events of the park by liking and following our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/OVMPark/about
Our Veterans Memorial Park celebrates the American spirit as well as providing a space for visitors with an atmosphere of natural beauty, peace for quiet meditation, and a sense of dignity and honor to the memory of veterans. You can be a part of this endeavor with your generous donations.
The land is located at the corner of Highway 10 and Dollar Road.
Upon completion this will become a beautiful memorial that Washington Parish will truly be proud of and cherished by all who visit.
We are currently accepting private and corporate donations to help fund Our Veterans Memorial Park.
