Do y'all know about Team Rubicon?

[dixiegrrrrl]

An organization of vets who use their skills to help out in emergencies, like Katrina and now NYC.

Here is the web site:

and here is the article about them I just read:
War veterans hit Sandy's front lines for rescues, cleanup

Meijer is one of 50 veterans dispatched this week into storm-battered areas from Team Rubicon — a nonprofit, 4,000-member, all-volunteer army composed almost entirely of former military members who served after 9/11, many of them in combat. They typically join forces with federal and local authorities to help during natural catastrophes such as the April 2011 outbreak of tornadoes in Tuscaloosa, Ala., that killed more than 340 people.
