Rising waters from Hurricane Katrina swallowed cars parked along streets of Keesler Air Force Base, Miss, Aug. 30, 2005. The base and the 6,000 sheltered military students, permanent party, civilians and their families survived the Category 4 hurricane with no casualties. The initial damage was catastrophic to base infrastructure. The base is currently in the assessment and recovery stage. U.S. Air Force photo

...anyone who thinks of our military (and especially the enlisted ranks) as unthinking automatons, should probably adjust fire and re-examine their perspective.

Amen to that! See #475

No thanks needed. If you were closer you would do the same. So many states are helping. I just want to be able to get some more but it will not happen until safety is better. We can take a bunch of these folks because we do have beds in the Med. Center. We can and will help if we can get the crazies to put down the weapons. Gosh, I can't imagine shooting them because then we would have to save them as well. What a circular thought! As soon as this shakes out we will get more!
Kathy, these are just great pictures of the homecomings! I love the one where he is holding his baby with his eyes closed. I am going to take a nap and feel a bit guilty about it because the staff in the hospitals will get no naps!

BIG ((((((((((((((HUGS TO ALL)))))))))))))))
