Two things:
Check out My Child The Movie which has clips of moms whose sons or daughters are either fighting in the war in Iraq, fought and are now home, or died in combat. Debbie Katsounakis, President of No. California chapter of Blue Star Mothers, and guest on my show today is today's mom on the film. She talks about how she dealt with the anger she first felt when her son was to be sent to Iraq and what turned that around for her. See My Childe the Movie here.
Also, Debbie sent me the following note regarding an organization that helps military families affected by hurricane Katrina, etc, USACares.
There is an organization that is struggling to help military families in need, especially since Hurricane Katrina. This organization is wonderful, and we have worked together several times to help those in need. The Red Cross will at times refer families to them, and during this difficult time, they are still referring the soldiers plus their families to them. The problem is, they need help to get the word out to obtain funds to continue. I promised I would forward the organizations contact info in hopes that you could interview them.We're going to contact them, but wanted to let you know about this great effort now.
