TROOP F NEWS RELEASE
November 18, 2013
Fourth Annual Christmas Tree Remembering Drunk Driving Victims

For the fourth consecutive year, Louisiana State Police Troop F will display a Christmas tree in the lobby of the troop building to serve as a remembrance for those who have lost their lives due to impaired driving. Families of victims are invited to come to Troop F located at 1240 LA Highway 594 in Monroe at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, December 3rd, to hang a picture of their loved one who had their life cut short by drunk driving.

In addition, those who have been injured by a drunk driver are welcome to hang a picture on the tree as well. All too often, the dramatic impact drunk driving crashes have on the lives of those who survive but have been injured by these crashes is overlooked. This is a way to honor and remember all drunken driving victims during the holidays and serves as a reminder to everyone that drunk driving destroys lives.

The tree will remain on display in the lobby until early 2014. Those who are not able to make it on this date are welcome to come to Troop F any day from December 3rd until the end of the year to hang a picture. If pictures are not available, family members will be able to write the names of victims on ornaments provided by Troop F. Family members may also mail pictures to be hung to the following address:

Trooper Albert Paxton

The media is cordially invited to attend.
