Guys, I decided to step out and talk about the hurricane a little bit. First of all you all know when it hit and all that has happened. But I think I will tell a few stories of me a my squad in New Orleans. But first you might be wondering why I just came back to say this. Well my squad was deploied to Iraq and we were called back to go to New Orleans and help. But any hoot here are some stories.

I was walking down a street and I saw this girl holding to a piece of wood as tight as she could. I asked her why she is holding the piece of wood. She said "This was the floor in my room". She said that her parents were all on the piece of wood when the hurricane hit. Both of her parents were reported missing and were later found. Both didn't make it.

I would never forget the look on that girls face. Here face was covered in mud and the only part of it that you could see was where her tears had dripped.

All the people that we saved look at us in the eyes and just cired the whole ride. Many of them have lost friends, kids, parents...

We asked people to descibe it in one word and all of them said "Hell" (sorry for the language). There are so many stories to tell. But the images you look at are nothing to compared to what it looks like in real life.

My team has been trying to get a spot on a national news channel to show HD fotage of what the city looks like. We want people to feel like if they were they. Because this is somthing that will never be forgotten.

The people there have been sleeping on the side of streets, in churches, in buildings, and worst of all on the pieces of rubel form their house.

Thank you for your time

And thank YOU for the story. I bet its thousand times worse than seeing and imagining it than actually being there.
