Late last week, the Shreveport Awards Program notified Mr. Badgley that The City of Byrd has been recognized as "The Best of Shreveport." Congratulations to our students, faculty, staff, parents and alumni! Even though our fight song ends with "best of all," it's always nice when outside organizations recognize our efforts and label our school in that way. We are humbled. Thanks you, Shreveport Awards Program and all Jackets! 💜💛🐝💜💛#AlwaysDeepWithinOurHearts

In honor of #DDay , we are sharing Ms. Fitzgerald's post and picture from three years ago.

June 6, 2016.....I rarely post...just mundane comments mostly, but today cannot pass without sharing a story about a beloved teacher,coach and friend at C.E. Byrd High School...Capt. John Rogers.

This morning I drove to New Orleans to witness a very special ceremony that took place at the World War II Museum, where John still volunteers and shares his story with visitors. During today's commemorative celebration, the French Government counsel-general in Louisiana presented to John their Legion of Honor for his service in the liberation of their country. It was followed by the singing of the French National Anthem. Very moving!! This award was established by Napoleon to recognize his finest soldiers. The ceremony took place in the Freedom Pavilion as part of the D-Day Commemoration which was a wonderfully patriotic event attended by many veterans.

John landed at Normandy D Day+3 or the ninth, with his Sherman tank Company and began fighting his way across Belgium and France liberating town after town and ending the war at the doors of Berlin. As Company commander, he was deeply involved in the Battle of the Bulge and after a battle defeat, introduced a new tactic for disabling the much larger German tanks by taking the smaller Sherman tanks around the German flank and hitting them on the backside of the tanks where they were less armored and their engines vulnerable.

At 98 years of age, John's story and his interviews can be viewed in the Road to Berlin exhibit of the Museum. You can also read his oral history on the Livingstonbusiness.com and search..John Rogers.

I will be writing an article about John for the Byrd Alumni High Life and would hope if you have a comment that I might use, you would Private Message me or comment. I will share all comments with John.

It was a lovely day to spend with special friend and mentor John, wife Tee, and son Charles. A poignant moment was standing in front of the Sherman tank and listening to John's recollections of fifteen months in that tank during World War II. It was an honor also shared with Byrd folks, Margaret and Jerry Badgley. John coached the former All-Sate catcher and current principal of our Byrd. What a day...and thank you to all veterans for your Service. #AlwaysDeepWithinOurHearts
