On A More Refreshing Note

I was walking through NYC today and saw the New York Post. On the cover in bold print was "SHAME ON AMERICA". To keep hopes and spirits high, I am offering the contrary news of greatness seen accross the nation for the Katrina victims. A few are local figures.

The American Red Cross has collected $21 million.
Corporate donors have contributed more than 1 million pounds of groceries through food banks.
Initial corporate donations to the relief efforts could total more than $100 million.
Corporate donations combined could reach $1 billion.
The tri-state news stations hit $500,000 over the course of a few days.
4,000 Active Duty soldiers are currently in the area.
7,000 more will be there in the next 72 hours.
$10.5 billion in federal aid has been approved.
The United Nations, Britain, Japan, Australia and Sri Lanka have donated to the American Red Cross.
Four trucks full of goods drive 850 miles from Batavia, Ohio to help out.
A group of 50 local churches is organizing a rescue effort that will pick up 35-50 families at the Houston Astrodome and bring back to Chattanooga.

There are MANY more examples of heroism.

Keep it up America!
