“I think it was important to attend the ceremony because it gives us closure for people that we lost in the storm. Also, I gained a new respect for Rev. Al Sharpton and how he spoke on the issues. He said some things that we needed to hear, especially his comments about how Bush can find money to rebuild Iraq, but can’t rebuild New Orleans.”
