There's some important news for veterans in New Orleans. Officials will break ground November 5 on a new Fisher House in the city. A Fisher House provides families a place to stay, free of charge, while their loved ones are receiving treatment at a VA Medical Center or military base.

Karl Lengel spoke with head of the Secretary of the US Department of Veterans Affairs, and New Orleanian Robert Wilkie.

Karl Lengel worked at New Orleans Public Radio for more than two decades before leaving the station in 2023.
