Hurricane Katrina

Remember what happened a year ago today.

Remember the plight of the thousands of victims; the agony of watching New Orleanians watch their family members perish in front of their eyes. Remember the failure of FEMA, Mayor Nagin and President Bush; promises made, but never realized. I remember the tears I wept, blurring my vision, momentarily halting my daily walk through the park; the pain was just too great.

Remember the overwhelming aid given at the time and remember that you can still help.

But, most importantly, remember the deep sorrow America as a whole felt on that gloomy day one year ago. Because if we forget, then the hurricanes win.
