I'm sorry, I seldom post. But I think you 'spoke' hastily. We are active duty, and moved to NOLA in July.
Thank God we did have insurance, but it only adds to our pain to read sentiments such as yours. We are still living in a temporary, rented furniture situation. It's a bare bones sort of thing right now. Our lives have definitely had a surreal quality since Aug. 29th. There's life across the USA....football games, music lessons, etc...and then there's us...the Gulf Coast, where the climbing out from the devastation just doesn't seem to end...parallel lives...ones WE are living so that you have the freedom of speech...to bash us.
Yes, if only they knew. People are STILL living in tents. No power, no water, no heat, no car, no job. Unbelievable. I am in Pascagoula, Ms. BTW.
