On Episode 72 of The Grant O Show, we sit down with Gilberto Burbante’, Jr., Coordinator of Veteran Services at Nicholls State University, U.S. Marine Corps and Army National Guard veteran, and proud two-time Nicholls graduate.
In this powerful episode, Gilberto opens up about his journey from the frontlines of Baghdad to the heart of South Louisiana, sharing how his experiences in combat shaped his purpose today — serving veterans as they transition back into civilian and student life.
We discuss finding purpose after the military, the mission behind Veteran Services at Nicholls, and how camaraderie, leadership, and faith help build a supportive community for those who’ve served.
If you’re passionate about leadership, service, or stories of resilience, this is one you won’t want to miss.
