Chris King & The Cajun Army Recognized by LSU Alumni Association

“When there’s flooding in Louisiana and Texas, sometimes as far away as North Carolina, Chris King’s business calls are interrupted by calls for help. King is co-founder and president of the Cajun Army. Like its brother organization, the Cajun Navy, the Cajun Army is an all-volunteer group dedicated to flood relief. Any flotilla of private boats may call itself Cajun Navy. There is just one Cajun Army, founded and trademarked by King in 2016.

The Cajun Army was born during an 11-hour boat rescue of some of King’s employees in the August 2016 flood. Clients Nick and Josh Loupe and King piloted a 12-foot boat and a 16-footer from Port Vincent, up the Amite River in full flood, through a cut in the woods to waiting employees and their families.

‘On the way back to Port Vincent,’ King said, ‘we were 13 people, three dogs and piles of personal possessions. We had a lot of time to talk going and coming, passing one flooded neighborhood after another.’

King organized the Cajun Army’s Facebook page the next day. Three years later, brothers Nick and Josh are Cajun Army vice president and board member, respectively.”
