BATON ROUGE — Southern University honored veterans today with a panel inside the Donald C. Wade House.

The panel featured veterans, educators, mental health professionals and community leaders, including retired General Russel Honore.

"You serve your country, and then you serve your community and your family," Honore said. "The mission continues. How do you bring those skill, knowledge, and attitudes that you learned in the military into your family and into your community?"

The conversation focused on service beyond the uniform and how to support veterans as they transition to civilian life.
