Right at Home is proud to recognize Shannon Houghton, Office Manager at Right at Home West Pasco & North Pinellas, for the compassion and dedication she brings to the mission every day. Shannon has been a vital part of her team for 10 years, and this spring, she had the extraordinary opportunity to serve as a guardian on Mission #52 of the Honor Flight.

She accompanied him on a journey to Washington, D.C., where veterans are flown, free of charge, to visit the monuments dedicated to their service and sacrifice. Henry and Shannon enjoyed taking time to walk through the Lincoln, Vietnam, World War II, and Korean War memorials. Other highlights from their trip included a water cannon salute upon landing in BMI, Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and a heartfelt mail call during their flight home. The day ended with a moving Welcome Home Ceremony that brought tears, cheers, and a true sense of honor for all who served.

Supporting veterans has always been close to Shannon’s heart, and her participation in Honor Flight was a beautiful reflection of the values held at Right at Home. We are grateful to Shannon for her empathy, her commitment, and the meaningful connection she built with Henry. Her actions reflect the heart of the Right at Home mission to improve the quality of life for those we serve.

Kent Broussard, a retired accountant in his mid-60s, fulfilled a lifelong dream by enrolling as a freshman at Louisiana State University (LSU) to join its famed Golden Band from Tigerland. His journey began in 1968 when he first saw the band perform as a child. Though he played the sousaphone in high school and college, life led him down a different path—career, family, and eventually retirement.
Broussard never let go of his dream, though. In 2023, he began training physically and musically, even marching through his neighborhood with a 30-pound sousaphone. He applied to LSU, auditioned, and earned a spot in the band. His debut during LSU’s 2025 football season opener drew national attention, with ESPN highlighting his story and the crowd at Tiger Stadium cheering as his image appeared on the jumbo screen.
Kent Broussard’s story reminds us that it’s never too late to chase what sets your soul on fire because, as Kent put it, "People retire, dreams don’t."
