Lest We Forget

I had the luxury of visiting New Orleans a couple of years ago. The french quarter is something that one will never forget. The city was rich with history, architecture, and its people. Currently it is but a shell of its former self.

We, as a people, should never forget the tragedy that occured. The seemingly needless despair by the people. People, reguardless of color or background should never be forced en masse into a sea of hopelessness that Katrina left.

Lessons should be learned and rememberd to limit the reoccurance...... anywhere. Mandatory evacuations should be just that.....mandatory, and as such the people should be afforded a way out if they are unable to do so on their own. Governments at ALL levels failed these people and consequently failed us all.

Lest we forget
