Featured Story

Here's a recent story from Lynell of Clinton, LA:
Where do I begin! I am the mother and spouse of two military men both
active. During the week of the storm I was operated on and left with
stitches still in me, and was NOT going to evaluate. My father insisted on
leaving and asked me not to stay and to leave with them. I knew I would have
to drive. My father is extremely nervous and my mother can't drive. An army
soldier after serving 3 yrs in Iraq consecutively, my husband was again
deployed this time to Egypt--his second time there the day before the
hurricane, which left me alone. My son was serving as a marine in Africa at
that time. Sick and helpless through the grace of GOD I got the strength to
drive. We evacuated to Florida to find them in a worse condition. They had
not rebuilt since the last 4 hurricanes. I was considered missing and my son
had the U.S. Marines contact CNN where I heard my name was displayed as
missing.
