kitty...what unit is he in...mine is in Transportation 1087th Road Warriors. He got sent two days before it hit but they had to stay in a little town for a few days till they got all the unit and supplies ready but he was in jackson barracks the morning it hit. He was in the superdome and the convention center for like forever it seems...he said it was worse than when he went to iraq because of the way things were progressing...he lived in new orleans when he was a small child and he said it will never be the same.
