We were stationed in New Orleans. My husband was in Key west Florida on a deployment and I was sitting in my livingroom and my sister in law called and told me to put it on the news... I was totally in shock. I have never gotton over this tragedy. We lived on base at the time and was told we have to go off base to pick up our kids from school and get back on base . They were locking the base down... so i had to stop and get food and other things. It took me 3 hours to get back on base . The security was very tight.
