Veterans

Lorem ipsum is placeholder text commonly used in the graphic, print, and publishing industries for previewing layouts and visual mockups

The Heritage Families of Vernon, Sabine, and Natchitoches Parishes have consistently served this nation proudly in its national defense. The list of names below has been compiled since the Fort Polk Heritage Project began in 2007 and includes a number of different sources, including information obtained through research by Fort Polk cultural resources staff members, and information supplied by Heritage Family Association members and participants at Heritage Reunions and other Heritage Program events.

We wish to acknowledge that a list of this scope and span of time may not be complete, and we openly apologize if some Heritage Family veterans have been unintentionally omitted. Similarly, it is possible that some names are duplicates and that other names may have found their way onto this list for individuals who are not veterans, based on misinterpretations or errors in data collection.

With over six hundred families living on the land that became Camp Polk and Peason Ridge Artillery Range, the research and development of a complete and accurate list of Heritage Veterans remains a dynamic endeavor. Though it is a work in progress, our intent for the list included herein is to demonstrate, honor, and celebrate the breadth and depth of military service by our Heritage Family veterans, who have performed their duty to this great country with pride, dignity, and selflessness. It is hoped that in some way this list may pair a veteran’s story from a former generation with one of his or her contemporaries serving today.
