“Our hearts are heavy,” Jindal said on the tenth anniversary of Katrina making landfall. “We know there are still families wondering what exactly happened to their loved ones. We know that even as New Orleans has rebuilt and is rebuilding, there are those that are grieving the deaths of their fathers, their mothers, their brothers, their sisters.”

Speaking at the Hurricane Katrina Memorial, where nearly 100 unidentified victims of the storm are buried, Jindal said those lost “will never leave our memories. They inspire us today and every day.”
