SOUTHEASTERN RECEIVES IRAQ COMBAT FLAG – Southeastern Louisiana University President Randy Moffett accepts from Monique Larre of Metairie an American flag that was flown on a combat mission by the U.S. Air Force into Iraq in early April. Larre , a former civilian telecommunications specialist who was assigned to the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, presented the flag to Southeastern in appreciation for the university’s support of its students, staff and alumni who are serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Larre is a 2002 Southeastern marketing graduate and is now attending Thomas M. Cooley Law School in Michigan. While at Southeastern, she worked as a student assistant in the President’s Office.
