Loye Taylor Alvis

Sweet and favorite uncle

To David and family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time of sorrow! May God bless!

Love you, Betty. Said a prayer for all of ya'll. Eternal rest, grant unto him Oh Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him.

The Final Salute

“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.

This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to Loye Taylor Alvis our “Brother-in-Arms”. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Loye. And to Loye it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted and selfless service he rendered to his country during WW-II while serving in the U.S. Navy. Loye, you are a true patriot, who served with honor and distinction. We bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at Ease. Rest in Peace.

On behalf of the 1,307 military veteran Legionnaires of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion, I extend our sympathies and our condolences to Loye's family and loved ones.

Dennis Engdahl, Commander, American Legion Post 14
5315 S. Lakeshore Drive, Shreveport, LA 71109

On behalf of National Commander Jim Roberts the prayers of The Sons of The American Legion are with the family as we praise God for the life of this American Legion member. May he rest in peace as the fruits of his service to community, state, and nation flourish.
