We lost our home and all of our possessions in Katrina. When we needed help, it was not FEMA or MEMA or even the Red Cross that arrived to help. It was Southern Baptist churches from NC, SC and TN. It was the Marine Corps Reserve, volunteers from Ohio and Indiana.
Good people put their lives on hold, left their families and at their own expense spent many days among the debris and stench to provide aid and comfort to those in need.
That is OUR AMERICA and we will always be so grateful to them.
PS: Some of this same Cajun group tried to help save lives in NOLA but were stopped and threatened with arrest because FEMA had not approved them. Hope that they are received better in Houston.
