History On November 11, 2014, our city dedicated the Carencro Veterans Memorial to the servicemen and women of our community. It was designed by Lynn Guidry Architect and won a Community Achievement Award from the Louisiana Municipal Association. The project took first place in the Community Development Category for cities with a population from 3,001–10,000. It also earned a Silver Award in Architecture in the INDesign Awards.The memorial includes a plaza of brick pavers engraved with the names of past and present veterans, 16 granite “soldiers,” or small pillars, engraved with the names of veterans killed or missing in action, and marble benches. To see photos of the memorial, please visit our photo gallery. Seeking KIA/MIA Information Are you related to any of the KIA/MIA soldiers honored in our memorial? We have a history on some of these men, but don’t know much about most of them. We’d like to compile their stories so visitors to the memorial can learn about these local heroes.
