This photograph always reminds me of the famous flag raising image taken at Iwo Jima. The response of volunteers was incredible after Sandy hit, and this 2 year anniversary must be a remembrance of the storm, but also of the tremendous volunteer response and the subsequent rebuilding effort which is still in play.

We spent the night of Oct. 29, 2012 in our bed on Mt. Hermon Way. The house shook. It was worrisome. A couple of days later, some volunteer church teams rolled into town on trucks. The were tough young guys who brought their own chain saws, weather gear, and even food. They went to work immediately clearing fallen trees from the streets. —–Paul
