Here is a photo I took of the new and still unfinished Hurricane Katrina Memorial which is located at the Canal Cemeteries in New Orleans. To find it, go to the Charity Hospital Cemetery which is near "Potter's Field" which is near St. Patrick's Cemetery Number 1 on Canal Street at the end of the streetcar line.
The memorial is a beautiful tribute to the dead of Katrina. Two main things will be at the memorial eventually -- a memorial site (which reminds me somewhat of the famous Vietnam War Wall in Washington DC) and also a burial ground for the actual remains of the dead from Hurricane Katrina who were still unidentified. I will try to add more photos as the memorial is developed.
To those who lost loved-ones in the storm, after the storm, because of the storm, or who were brutally affected by the storm, this memorial is a place of peace and remembrance which may help alleviate the emotional anguish of Katrina.
