Mayor Rick Allen and leaders from two local hospitals signed joint proclamations declaring October to be Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the City of Leesville, at JRTC and Fort Polk, and in the State of Louisiana.
With this proclamation, Mayor Allen and Leesville City Council members want to encourage all citizens to increase their awareness of and their participation in the fight against the disease. It is intended to show support for every individual and family struggling with breast cancer and provide an opportunity to remember those we have already lost.
