Dr. Leonard C. Barnes
"Dr. Leonard C. Barnes, the namesake of our Post, was a man of deep conviction and service. Beyond his time as a 1st Lieutenant in the United States Army, Dr. Barnes was a cornerstone of Shreveport education, serving as Chancellor of Southern University at Shreveport and a beloved coach at Booker T. Washington High School. Known as 'Coach' to many, he spent his life bridging the gap between service to country and service to community. Post 450 proudly carries forward his commitment to honoring our past and securing the future of our veterans. "
