LAKE CHARLES, LA (KPLC) -
The City of Lake Charles and the
Mayor's Committee for the First Lt. Douglas B. Fournet Memorial will hold a
dedication ceremony for the First Lieutenant Douglas B. Fournet Memorial at 11

City officials say the memorial will
be the centerpiece of a redesign of the entry area of Veterans Memorial
Park.
In addition to the memorial statue, officials
