BATON ROUGE, LA – Attorney General Jeff Landry is expressing
gratitude to his fellow Louisiana veterans, hoping that all in our State will
join him in saying thanks to those who served in the armed forces as we
celebrate Veterans Day tomorrow.
“Let us take time this Veterans Day to honor, celebrate,
and pray for the brave men and women who have defended our Nation,” said
Attorney General Landry. “As a veteran, I know how much they and their families
have sacrificed to protect our freedoms and God-given rights.”
Attorney General Landry is also using the holiday to
remind veterans and service members of frauds and scams targeting them. “As
Attorney General, I have and will continue doing all that I can to help protect
our military community from being exploited.”
Attorney General Landry encourages all active duty
service members, reserve members, and veterans in Louisiana to review his
office’s Resource Guide for Service Members and Veterans.
