OCS senior Bethany Guidry sang the National Anthem following the posting of colors by the Acadiana Veterans Honor Guard. U.S. Congressman Ralph Abraham, M.D. presented the Distinguished Service Cross and Purple Heart to Lafleur family members, Richard and Carrol Lafleur, who are current OCS grandparents. Several state and local dignitaries attended in addition to Bishop Douglas Deshotel and many priests. It was a beautiful presentation honoring the late Father Lafleur who gave his life for his fellow prisoners of war aboard a torpedoed ship in September of 1944. The Service Cross was said to be one of the highest honors given by Congress.
