The Veterans of Foreign Wars hosted their State Convention in Alexandria on June 6-9. One of the many recognitions was a Spirit Award. It was to be awarded to the person who went beyond the yearly participation in the State of Louisiana programs as an individual and stepped outside the box to contribute to the community or our veterans. Zwolle-Ebarb VFW Post 5187 Commander Benny Garcie and Auxiliary President Pat Getschel compiled documentation, organized a notebook of events and submitted Walter Korb, Quartermaster, as the Post 5187 competition choice. Mr. Korb was the proud recipient of the 2018-2019 State of Louisiana Spirit Award!
