avenue of flags

The Avenue of Flags in Lake Charles returns for its 41st year, showcasing more than 1,200 memorial flags to honor U.S. veterans on Memorial Day and Veterans Day.

Everyone looks forward to a three-day weekend, but, while we're enjoying this extra day off, let's all remember why Monday is a holiday.

If you want to do more to honor those brave men and women, there is a special event going on in the Lake Area and you can not only

It is Veterans Day and 800 flags are flying at Orange Grove-Graceland cemetery on Broad Street until 5 this afternoon.  It's a beautiful day, so we urge you to take a few minutes to drive through. It's a pretty stirring site.

Monday is Veterans Day, a day to salute and remember our Veterans both past and present, but especially the ones who gave the ultimate sacrifice to keep our country free.

If the sight of The American Flag flying in the breeze against a clear blue sky stirs a bit patriotism in your soul, what do you think seeing more than 700 flags flying will do for you?  This Friday, you'll get a chance to see exactly that -- and you shouldn't miss it!
