‘We salute...’

Each Friday, The Daily News will recognize individuals and businesses in Washington Parish who have gone “above and beyond” in their efforts to make this a better place to live, work, play and raise a family.

We believe that an integral part of a community’s wellbeing is an attitude and arena where people who do good things … who work to improve life for others … who try to make a difference … are recognized and saluted.

Because this is a salute to members of the community of Washington Parish, we solicit your recommendations for groups or individuals to be considered for inclusion.

This week we salute:

• The coaches and football professionals who contributed their time and talent to area youth through the Legends All-Pro Football Camp at Bogalusa High School.

• Local police and fire personnel who agreed to get their heads shaved during the recent “Buzz the Red, White and Blue” benefit for the Dream Factory.

• The LSU baseball team that entertained and delivered at the College World Series in Omaha this week.
