In honor of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, the Fleet Reserve Association, Branch 98, is holding a two-bell observance for Memorial Day Monday in Shreveport.
It s only fitting that the Fleet Reserve Association, representing enlisted members of the United States Navy, Coast Guard, and Marines will be honoring the memory of shipmates who have passed in service at the Lowe-Mcfarlane American Legion Post No. 14, on the banks of Cross Lake in Shreveport. It makes sense to be on the water for such a solemn occasion.
The public is invited to mark the occasion Monday, May 31, 2021, at 2 pm at the American Legion, located at 5315 Lakeshore Drive, Shreveport, LA, 71149. US Congressman Mike Johnson will speak and the local winners of the Fleet Reserve Association essay contest will be shared. The subject for this year s essay was The Bill of Rights and Me. A wreath will also be placed on the water in remembrance.

Garofalo Responds to Losing Chair of House Education
Chalmette Representative Ray Garofalo issued a three-page response after being asked by House Speaker Clay Schexnayder to step aside for the remainder of the session from his post as House Education Chairman. The controversy started when Garofalo presented a bill in committee to prohibit divisive concepts in schools.
“I said I’m not resigning and I’m not stepping aside at which point he said well ok then you’re out,” said Garofalo.
While presenting House Bill 564, Garofalo made a statement that said if you are discussing slavery then you can talk about everything, the good, the bad, and the ugly. The statement went viral and Garofalo said the Black Caucus wanted him removed for his bill, not his comments, but said he was removed so tax reform legislation can pass.
