"On the third anniversary of Katrina, we can look back on a city and region whose citizens have bravely cleaned up and rebuilt. Today is a day to celebrate their resilience and pledge to help them finish the job. It is also a day to remember the disastrously inadequate response from the federal government and pledge that never again will we let bureaucratic incompetence leave disaster victims stranded and alone."
