NENA Remembers
August 29, 2005
It's been five years, but the many scars have yet to heal. Many people have yet to return and it's evident that things will never be the same. But each year, the citizens of the Lower Ninth Ward renew their vows, never to forget loved ones...never to forget the Lower Ninth Ward they knew and loved before Hurricane Katrina.
