In observance of this upcoming Memorial Day, I dug way back into the vault of old presentations and pulled out this 2008 tribute to Iberia Parish WWII veterans for a special event at the old Sliman Theater in my hometown of New Iberia, Louisiana. The event was a grand affair, in a pack house full of veterans and their families and hosted by the Iberia Cultural Resources Association. The audio quality is not the best, but the message of gratitude to this great generation still rings loud and clear today. Unfortunately, like so many communities across the nation, there aren’t many WWII veterans left. But events like this remind us all of their sacrifice, courage, and contributions to our way of life.
