Heroes Monument Commission was formed to join with Concerned Veterans of Louisiana Inc. to bring respect to our heroes.

   We needed a body of government to help us get the word out, as to what we wanted to do. By being a commission for the Lafourche Parish Council, we can turn to the voting public to help pass a milage, to help purchase the property, if, and only if we can not accomplish this with grants and donations.

    Heroes Monument Commission is made up of  ;                                                                                                 

   1.  Five Veterans

    2.  Two law Enforcement Officers

   3.  Two Fire Fighters

     This nine member board, will work in conjuntion with the Lafourche Parish Council and Concerned Veterans of Louisiana Inc. to build Heroes' Monument.

     We ask every one who qualify, please purchase a tile as a Hero or a Supporter. Every dollar we collect, is a dollar  more, before you donated.

     Remember to make your donations to Concerned Veterans of Louisiana Inc. so you can get a receipt and copy of our 501 C-3,  for your taxes. Please put a notation, as to whether the donation, is for    " Concerned Veterans, or Heroes' Monument."

   If you are not worried about your taxes, you can make the check payable to

Vietnam WarVeteran

My name is Robert Paul Harris Jr. After basic training at Fort Polk I was dispatched to Fort Lewis Washington as a 42B10 ( heavy- equipment Mechanic ). Ended up being a heavy equipment operator.

After 10 months training I was dispatched to the 9^th infantry in Dong Tam

Vietnam as a PLL clerk. When the 9^th transferred back to the states I

elected to stay in country for my last 6 months of service because I hated

state side duty!

I was then dispatched to just south of the DMZ in a place called LZ Nancy,

Which was later called Fire Base Nancy. I finely got the use my original

62B30 MOS with the 115^th Engineers. I left South Vietnam on April 17

 Law Enforcement

My name is John Waguespack; I am a native and resident of Thibodaux and I am a Thibodaux High School graduate. Upon graduating from Thibodaux High School and just before enlisting into the United State Air Force I was a active member of the Thibodaux Volunteer Fire Department belonging to the Protector Fire Station. I committed to served in the United States Air Force on May 7, 1975 and was Honorable Discharge as an E4 Sgt from active duty July 20, 1979 and served out my reserve time until my final discharged date of July 20, 1981. While in the Air Force I served as an Electronic Warfare System Specialist until I was selected to participate in a new training program that was just started getting under way for fighter pilots of all branches. The Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation (Top Gun) as seen in the Tom Cruise movie was to help improve our fighter pilots in air combat situations.

I started my Law Enforcement career March 16, 1980 and have proudly served my community since. I served as a Nicholls State University Campus Policeman, an Assumption Parish Sheriff Deputy and I am now serving as a Department of Public Safety Police Officer under the supervision of the Louisiana State Police.
