Gov. Bobby Jindal will be in Chalmette Friday to award medals to veterans.

Jindal and Lane Carson, secretary of the state Department of Veterans
Affairs, will be at the Fred Sigur Civic Center to hand out Louisiana
Veterans Honor Medals, the Department of Veterans Affairs said.

The event begins at 2:45 p.m.

All veterans are eligible for the medals. Some have already signed up. Those
veterans who have not signed up yet can do so at the event by presenting
their discharge papers or DD214 forms.

The 2008 state Legislature created the Veterans Honor Medal with the
intention to recognize and honor all Louisiana veterans.

For additional information on the medal program, call the Department of
Veterans Affairs, toll free, at 877-432-8982, or check out the department's
web site, http://www.vetaffairs.la.gov/medals.

The civic center is located at 8245 W. Judge Perez Drive in Chalmette.
