After the recent designation of Washington Parish as a Purple Heart Parish, signs were erected to let people know. Members of American Legion Post 24 joined government officials for a photo once the first of the signs was in place on Hwy 10 at Bogalusa. From left to right are CB Boyd, Philip Bedwell, State Senator Beth Mizell, Post 24 Commander Donnie Kuhn, Chaplain Paul Corse, Washington Parish Council President Kim Wagner and Washington Parish President Ryan Seal. Shown below is a list of parish residents, living or deceased, who have received the Purple Heart medal. PHOTO BY JOE CULPEPPER
