New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina Victim

This was one of the hardest parts of the rescue. At one of our water access points, these two human bodies were just laying there bloating in the sun, and nothing was being done about it. They had been there for over a week. I couldn't help but wonder who this person was, what he was doing when the storm hit, and whether or not he had family out looking for him. It was heart breaking, and frustrating to say the least.
