National Guard Still Patrols New Orleans
by JJ Sutherland, NPRJuly 15, 2008
It's been nearly three years since Hurricane Katrina's floodwaters devastated parts of New Orleans.
And to this day, the National Guard continues to patrol some of the hardest-hit areas.
The guard's mission is to prevent looting and provide a law and order.
The Guard will stay in the city at least until the end of the year following Gov. Bobby Jindal's decision to extend its tour of duty.
