THIBODAUX, La. — 杏吧传媒 Veterans will hold a virtual Veterans Day ceremony on Wednesday, Nov. 11 at 1 p.m.
A panel consisting of Gilberto Burbante, Brenner Ledet, Amy Delatte, Dustin Duhon, Brea Dominique, Nilo Johnson, Matthew Cheramie and Roy Bauer will discuss the importance of serving in the United States Armed Forces and how it made them better people.
鈥淭his program will be unlike any we have 1ever had,鈥� said Burbante, coordinator of Veterans Services. 鈥溞影纱� Veterans have established a panel of post-9/11 veterans. We will discuss why we joined, how our military service influenced our life, what that sacrifice has meant to us and will share some of our own 鈥榳ar stories.鈥� We want to let the viewers into our exclusive veterans club, which is usually foreign to outsiders.鈥�
Burbante, Ledet, Delatte, Dominique, Johnson and Cheramie served in the U.S. Marine Corps. Duhon and Bauer served in the U.S. Navy.
Burbante, coordinator of Veterans Services, said they moved the event online to mitigate risk and protect older veterans.
鈥淔or years a huge number of attendees at our program have been the older breed of warriors, and for us paying proper respect also means ensuring we are doing our part to keep them safe,鈥� he said. 鈥淭his format will remove the risk but still provide an outstanding program that will honor our brave men and women.鈥�
杏吧传媒 Veterans will livestream the panel from the Bob Blazer Television Studio in Talbot Hall. To watch the panel, visit .
