NEW ORLEANS – The Louisiana National Guard’s 1st Battalion, 141st Field Artillery Regiment, known as the Washington Artillery, held its annual memorial wreath-laying ceremony at Lake Lawn Metairie Cemetery, Dec. 1, and its 180th pass-in-review ceremony at Jackson Barracks, Dec. 2.

These two ceremonies reflect the long and decorated history of the 1-141st. The Washington Artillery Veterans Association has sponsored the wreath-laying ceremony since 1965 as a way to honor the unit’s fallen Soldiers and remember its heritage.
