The people of the city of New Orleans did a very extraordinary thing Saturday. We decided that we were going to stick our flag in the ground and strike a blow for unity and strike a blow for a city that decided to be unified rather than divided - a city that understands that where there is equal opportunity, there is equal responsibility.
We took a huge leap forward into the future. The city of New Orleans showed America what it takes to rebuild a great place. We're all going together, and we're not leaving anybody behind.
Thank you for all of your help and support along the way. Without you, this would not have been possible.
