LaSalle Parish Veterans Stacey Wilson of Urania and Leonard “Bud” Rankin of Tullos were presented Quilts of Valor at the Centennial Cultural Center in downtown Olla on Veterans Day in honor of their military service. Presenting the quilts were Hilda Franklin and Fran Fish, representing the Olla Quilters, who created the quilt and have given out ten others since 2017. Rankin served in the US Navy and Wilson in the US Army. Veteran’s Day programs and other events were held throughout the parish in communities, schools and churches.
