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
a.m. Saturday, Nov. 9 at Veterans Memorial Park, Veterans Memorial Parkway.
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
say new additions to the entrance will include a gateway entrance, two arbors
and new pavers.
Family members of Fournet are scheduled to attend, and a reception immediately following the
ceremony will be held in the Contraband Room of the Lake Charles Civic Center.
Doug Fournet, a Lake Charles native,
was awarded the Medal of Honor, posthumously in April 1970, for his selfless
act of sacrifice in May of 1968 during the Vietnam War.
