Lt. General Russell Honore | Louisiana Legends

This episode of the series “Louisiana Legends” from September 22, 2011, features an interview with retired Lieutenant General Russel Honore conducted by Beth Courtney. Honore, a native of Lakeland, served in the United States Army from 1971-2008. He is best known as the commander of Joint Task Force Katrina, the unit responsible for coordinating military relief efforts following Hurricane Katrina in 2005. He discusses: growing up in Lakeland; the importance of education; the leadership opportunities provided by his high school extracurricular activities; his success in the Army; what it means to identify as Creole; his military assignments in Korea; the impact of the reduction of the military budget; working in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina; his retirement in Louisiana; and the empowerment of creating a business that identifies a problem and fixes it.

[@camelotdaily7051]

By "helping" do you mean shooting innocent Americans, stealing their legally owned weapons?

I worked with a distant cousin, Dr.Charles Honore. Both are wonderful men, very intelligent and professional in their leadership decisions.

As a NOLA native I’m sure you know you’re a hero to all of us. Maybe coolest dude of my life. Except my grandfather. Thanks for saving my hometown and I feel safer now that you’re involved.

That this man was never given a fourth star is a crime in itself.

[@warriorclass1040]

I like him.. makes me feel safe

[@reallyrowdyred]

I don't think Louisiana is too thrilled with this guy, or their senator, for that matter. He's a lunatic and I'm relieved he no longer leads our military.

[@fredflinstone1093]

Well said
