STAR SPANGLED BANNER

We have been searching and finding happenings during Katrina that we had heard about but never saw. My daughter has posted a video that should instill fright in all of us.

My daughter, Anita, sent me the following lyrics of a song which we think mirrors not only our feelings but those of the Coast!

Pascagoula, Mississippi Video

Yesterday my daughter Anita and I decided we would take a video of Pascagoula's beach for a future remembrance of Hurricane Katrina's devastation of so many homes on the beachfront. Anita was the photographer and I was the driver. Although my speed was only 20 mph, when we first viewed the video, it looked as though I was moving at a 100 mph. Anita was able to slow it down to what appears normal.

It is very sad for us to watch the video as we know all that was lost and the heartache it caused the people. While watching the video and seeing the emptiness, try visualizing the beautiful homes that were there.

I have put the two videos shown below on again as we near the one year mark of what Katrina did to two of our larger cities on the Coast. I usually have no luck keeping the videos on but just maybe this time they will stay "put".

Once again our thanks go out to all the wonderful people around the United States that are still coming to our aid. There are, at present, 300 volunteers on the coast from Maryland
