Louisiana VI





Not far from New Orleans is the city of Houma in Terrebonne Parish. They have an interesting Veteran's Park that runs along side the road. Within lie a number of monuments including this one to Vietnam, in addition, there are a number of smaller, seemingly, personal tributes.

There is, also, a bell hanging at the entrance. This is used at various ceremonies and all who visit are encouraged to ring it in remembrance of the lost.

The park can be found along Rte 113 near the intersevtion with St. Charles.
