"Troops begin combat operations in New Orleans" (actual Army Times headline)
We are now Iraq: Combat operations are underway on the streets “to take this city back” in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina....While some fight the insurgency in the city, other carry on with rescue and evacuation operations.
Please consider these aid agencies for donations to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina, as well as the victims of the Indian Ocean tsunamis. Mercury Rising is not affiliated with any of these organizations, nor can we directly vouch for them.
