Yesterday, our facility celebrated the January birthdays of our veteran residents. The Hospice of Baton Rouge kindly donated cake, which was served with ice cream. Mr. Megyesi, who turned 97 on Tuesday, enjoys staying active with word puzzles, visiting family in Albany, and sharing stories of his Hungarian roots. We extend our best wishes to all January birthday veterans! ❤️🤍💙

Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming special guests Kim Holder Ricks and her remarkable horse, Hammer 🐴! Through their partnership, Kim illustrates the bond between a horse and trainer, drawing powerful parallels with our relationship with God. Just as Hammer trusts Kim implicitly, allowing her to guide him with gentle ease, we too can cultivate unwavering faith in God's plan for us. Our residents thoroughly enjoyed interacting with Kim and Hammer, asking questions and showering Hammer with carrots. We look forward to their return visit, as it was a truly uplifting experience.

This morning, The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America proudly presented the Parade of Flags, paying tribute to our veterans, alongside Doyle High School Baseball players who graciously helped showcase the flags, and the Girls Senior Powerlifting team, who together with the baseball players, demonstrated remarkable kindness and respect by visiting and assisting our veterans to and from the ceremony. Kudos to Coaches Frasier, Beatty, and Holly for inspiring these young individuals to honor our residents with their presence and service. After the ceremony the students stayed for hamburgers and hotdogs.

We exist for you.

The Louisiana Department of Veterans Affairs aids residents of our state who served in the United States Armed Forces during any war, combat, or special periods of service during peacetime, along with their dependents and beneficiaries, in receiving any and all benefits to which they may be entitled under the law of the United States or the states thereof.

In addition, this department also provides nursing care for veterans at five homes, located across the state, in: Bossier City, Jennings, Jackson, Reserve, and Monroe, La. And, operates four Veterans Cemeteries located across the state, offering a variety of burial options for Veterans, spouses and dependent children. The cemeteries are located, in: Keithville, Leesville, Slidell, Rayville, and, coming soon to Jennings, La.

Joey Strickland was appointed Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Veterans Affairs by Governor John Bel Edwards on Jan. 13, 2016. In this position, he is responsible for overseeing five Veterans Nursing Homes, four State Veterans Cemeteries, the department’s Administrative, Contact Assistance, and Claims Divisions, the Military Family Assistance Fund, Veterans Honor Medal Program, and advocacy outreach to our Veterans Service Organizations, homeless, and women Veterans. A large part of his responsibility is advocating on behalf of Louisiana Veterans to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

Secretary Strickland is no stranger to VA, having served for more than 15 years as either Director or Deputy Secretary in two states. At the national level, Secretary Strickland served as Chairman of the VA Advisory Committee for Minority Veterans and as President of the National Association of State Directors of Veterans Affairs (NASDVA) from 2003-2004. As NASDVA President, he testified before the U.S. Congress on Veterans’ issues.
