IBERIA PARISH, La. (This Week in Louisiana Agriculture) — For generations of service members, a small bottle of TABASCO has served as a familiar taste of home. Now, the company behind the iconic hot sauce is honoring veterans working within its own operations.
Seven employees with the McIlhenny Company recently received the Louisiana Honor Medal during a ceremony hosted by the Louisiana Department of Veterans Affairs.
The event recognized employees for their military service and highlighted TABASCO’s longstanding connection with the armed forces.
Mini bottles of TABASCO have been included in military Meals Ready to Eat, or MREs, for generations, becoming a familiar staple for service members stationed around the world.
Louisiana Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Charlton Meginley says events like this are important because they recognize veterans who continue to serve their communities and workplaces long after their military service ends.
