Two Years Later...

I have to agree with Anderson Cooper: I hate when the media covers anniversaries.
It's one more thing that the media can corrupt and ruin.
However, today marks the two-year anniversary of the devistation from Hurricaine Katrina.
Towns are still leveled.
People are still homeless.
Debris still clutters the street.

However, in parts of New Orleans and Mississippi, live goes on. The Fench Quarter is all but rebuilt. People are visiting, eating, living.

However, I feel like I should have done something. Somehow altered my routine to remember this tragedy. I read from Cooper's book, in which he eloquently writes about the devistation which he whitnessed first hand. I watched his show, where he showed that, while life is returning to New Orleans, many, too many parts of the state remain in ruin.

I hope to visit New Orleans for Spring Break. To somehow find some something in the devistation. Find some story yet to be told. Or maybe a story that has been told numerous times, but from a new vantage point.

While the media tends to ruin and spin, at least it remembered, for one day, those who are still suffereing. While tomorrow all the media vans will leave, too many will remain with no one to tell their story.

This is one anniversary that needs to be remembered.
