Hurricane Katrina
Well, the situation looks really grim at the disaster areas, and it hurts looking at the news and not being able to help the folks that have not evacuated and are suffering, and come to think of it that I was just at Biloxi last year for my training where I stayed for 2 months and from what I hear, Keesler Air Force Base was hit pretty bad just like the rest of the surrounding areas. It just is really looks bad. But the good news is there is something that we can all do to help…
