Operations went well with Gustav and better yet, we (South East Texas) dodged a bullet. That's me above giving a brief to Texas Military Forces. To the left is a C-130 from the TX Air National Guard that we used to help evacuate folks from New Orleans. Texas Task Force 1 along with Texas Military Forces, California TF-1, 4 & 5, Colorado TF-1, Nevada TF-1, Arizona TF-1, Tennessee TF-1, & our brothers from Merseyside in Liverpool (that's the United Kingdom for all you yanks) all staged in Houston for the duration of the storm along with multiple ambulance agencies from across the state and abroad. After three days, our type 1,2, & 3 teams were demobilized; myself and the overhead team were de-mobed on day four. So now I'm back re-stocking my gear and set to go back out on Wednesday for Hurricane Ike. Again, please keep those in the Caribbean and Cuba in your hearts and prayers, for they have taken a tremendous beating this season. Additionally (and most importantly), keep the families of those that we have to leave behind while we go and help our fellow man.
Greater hath no love than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
