Such tragic events touch families throughout generations to come. I've never been directly affected by such tragedy, and like most of us, I don't take the time to remember often enough.

"out of sight, out of mind" sums it up, if you arent there to experience it first hand it is difficult to recognize how deep the wounds go, and how slow the process of recovery is. In both 911 and Katrina, Im sure there are many 'wounds' that can never be healed, and it is difficult for the mind to grasp that when where we are, life is going on as it always has.<BR/>Thank you for a profound piece.Lavenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00837170932026113619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817033733788583560.post-35663127832899935682007-09-04T00:49:00.000-05:002007-09-04T00:49:00.000-05:00As somebody who lives many miles away from the Sta...As somebody who lives many miles away from the States I had no idea until recently that a. the damage by Katrina was so widespread and b. that so many people were still homeless and struggling because of it.The Farmers Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11972978466403611186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817033733788583560.post-38080335806378989892007-09-03T19:07:00.000-05:002007-09-03T19:07:00.000-05:00Anderson Cooper did a great special on the 2 year ...Anderson Cooper did a great special on the 2 year anniversary of Katrina -- what's better, and what's still not right. How we treat the victims/refugees/residents of the Gulf Coast is how WE will be treated in the next disaster. It's a good reminder to us. Even those who thought they were doing good by giving money to charities like Habitat for Humanity -- most of that money did not make it to New Orleans. It's up to us to insist upon honesty and accountability and integrity from our politicians, insurance companies, charities, etc. Thanks for a post that got me thinking!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817033733788583560.post-73850183865297251272007-09-03T17:53:00.000-05:002007-09-03T17:53:00.000-05:00Frankly, I'm glad for you that you will have a new...Frankly, I'm glad for you that you will have a new, happier association for Sept. 11.<BR/><BR/>Immediately after Katrina, many families were evacuated to my part of the country. I was really proud of the way my community helped. And, that's what lots of these people still need. Help, not a drive-by speech, tribute, or parade. Real help. Great reminder!Maude Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03669688074743095866noreply@blogger.com
