Flags at the Southeast Louisiana War Veterans Home in Reserve fly at half-staff Tuesday morning as part of an executive order from Gov. Bobby Jindal’s Office. Jindal announced Sept. 6 that flags at all state buildings should fly half staff until sunset today to honor Louisiana soldiers who have been lost in battle since Sept. 11, 2001. The governor said in a release that Louisiana has lost 124 men and women from all branches of the armed forces in combat operations overseas. (Staff photo by Robin Shannon)
