We will forever be grateful to people from all across America who helped us rebuild and recover after Hurricane Katrina.

I know the citizens of my State have kept those affected by Hurricane Sandy in their thoughts and prayers.

As an example, I think about the special operations riverine training areas on the border of Louisiana and Mississippi.
