Veterans memorial in danger of being forgotten

Pam Negroto, a deputy sheriff who helps maintain the monument, said it is unique.
“This is the only monument I can think of that as people pass away their names are added,” Negroto said.
The names of any West Bank veteran are added as they become known to the Routine Officer Training Corps class at Hahnville High School that holds a memorial service on Veterans Day each year.
“If it wasn’t for this, these guys would have been forgotten,” Negroto said. “For me it is a peaceful moment just to sit there and have the flag fly over head and to hear it flapping in the wind.”
