Residents and local LE were appreciative that we were there. In all cases we were more informed than local LE about rescue needs and areas. Nothing but respect for everyone I met. Amazing response from civilians and pros alike. Louisiana was very well represented in the rescue effort. I guess I overdid it because now I'm laid up sick....

Appreciate your service.
