I saw that (watch SO little of network shows anymore) and was so moved by it! It was one thing that they built the Piestewa's a new house--but the community center for the vets they built on the reservation was wonderful.

The show last week about the medic who lost his leg in Iraq was incredible too.

What is weird is that early on during the aftermath of Katrina--on one of NautiNurse's hurricane threads--I posted that the White House and Extreme Makeover Home Addition should get together and do a show centered around Katrina victims. Guess I wasn't the only one that saw that as a good PR move for the Administration. .

I don't think it's much of a stretch to think Laura herself could have gotten the idea from you. : )

I didn't see the medic show.
NBC's Today Show has been busting their arse all week building houses in Compassion Square (or whatever they call it) trying to oneup ABC. It's pathetically transparent. I'm not a fan of Sears, at all, but this show is fantastic. There sure seems to be a dramatic change in the wind with network programming these days. Amy Grant's new show. There is an absolute about face from 'me' and the bitter backstabbing competitions of 'Survivors' to 'us' and actually doing some constructive uplifting with some of these shows.
