Robert Lynn Green Sr.

I am providing this information below sent to me from Robert Lynn Green, Sr whose mother Joyce H. Green (73 yrs) and granddaughter, Shanai Green (3 yrs) were lost in the floodwaters when levees breached during Katrina on August 29, 2005.

The Sixth Anniversary event in the Lower Ninth Ward begins Monday August 29, 2011 at 9:00 a.m. at N. Claiborne and Tennessee Streets.

At 9:48 a.m. there will be a bell ringing to commemorate the levees breaching all over the city. With the ringing of the bells, a wreath will be tossed from the top of the Claiborne Bridge and in waterways all over the city honoring those who lost their lives.

At 11 a.m. a Second Line will start at 1826 Tennessee Street (home of Mr. Green) with the Big Nine Social and Pleasure Club, the Mardi Gras Indians and sons of Jazz Brass Band.

I have told Mr. Green I will be there. Please join us.
