LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - This weekend, the Southwest Louisiana Veterans Cemetery celebrates its one year anniversary.
When the cemetery opened last year, just before the pandemic, the intent was to provide services to the more than 30,000 veterans in the area.
Although it has been a slow start, cemetery director Dwayne Guidry says they want to assure the public they are still here and providing free services, not only to veterans but their families as well.
