But first, we need to make it happen.
An Air Force veteran is asking the Internet for its help in finding a young woman he rescued 10 years ago, during Hurricane Katrina, in 2005.

Here's a photograph of the vet hugging the then-little girl, seen here in pigtails and a pink shirt. (How beautiful is that??) This image has become an iconic symbol of hope during the
A hashtag #FindKatrinaGirl has been created and has now taken off on social media.

And I hope everyone on the Internet can come together to help Mr. Maroney (who I will also thank for his unbridled service to this country; We are all ever so grateful to you for all your sacrifices to this nation during one of the most devastating travesties in American history) find this girl and that they can reunite after all these years. It needs to be done.
Hell, GMA, you're great at this stuff. I'm sure you can do this. If you can fly a castoff or finalist from Dancing with the Stars to New York for an interview the next day, I believe you can send out a call to your viewers to help this guy out this easily. Maybe an interview, maybe a taped sound byte, anything!!
