Olla’s Veterans Day Program

LaSalle Parish honored all veterans during several events held this past weekend as the nation paused to pay tribute during Veterans Day.

While the towns of Urania and Tullos provided meals and gift cards respectively to their resident veterans, the Town of Olla’s annual Veterans Day program was held Friday, November 10 at the Centennial Cultural Center.

This year’s featured veteran was Joe Cruse, who along the sharing of his service history, was presented the Quilt of Valor from Hilda Franklin, Billie Brown and Fran Fish.

Others participating in the Olla program included Olla Mayor Rhonda Elliott, Tullos First Baptist Church Pastor Scott Smith and Midway Baptist Church Pastor Daniel Breithaupt who led the crowd in the singing of the National Anthem.
