Supplies and volunteers

Hey Danreck,

I just heard on the news that there are supplies being all packed up to ship to New Orleans, medical supplies, food, water, etc. Looks like they are mobilizing things now, maybe they just needed a little time to get it all organized.

Also, in addition to my cousin-in-law Rankin Ramsey, who is going there with a Fire/Rescue crew on a boat from Texas, I also learned that my cousin-in-law Joesph Peck is being deployed to New Orlean's. He's in the military police National Guard. He is to keep people from looting.

I'm amazed about my family stepping up like this, I didn't know these things about these particular people.

Brenda

Edit: I had meant to branch this off to the Water Cooler but I goofed. :( Sorry.
