Copper Mill Students and Staff Honored for Patriotism

Friday, Congressman Bill Cassidy (R-Baton Rouge) made remarks and presented letters of recognition to Copper Mill Elementary Principal Dewey Davis and the students and staff for their continuing contributions to the Military Order of the Purple Heart.

For three years, Copper Mill Elementary and Chapter 177 of the Military Order of the Purple Heart have worked together to benefit veterans injured in the line of duty, educate students on patriotism and service, and honor the sacrifice of the men and women of America’s Armed Services. Copper Mill Elementary has held fundraising campaigns for the Military Order of the Purple Heart, including marketing CDs of its students singing the National Anthem, and members of Chapter 177 of the Military Order of the Purple Heart have shared their time and energy to educate Copper Mill students.
