203rd FRG's Hurricane Webpage
In September of 2005, the 203rd Engineers’ Company C out of Monett, MO was mobilized to help with the clean up of Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina struck. They were still there when Hurricane Rita hit. It’s never easy for the military personnel to leave their families behind during any deployment. We wish to say a special “Thank You!” to everyone in the military who have courageously helped their fellow countrymen. And “Thank You!” to all who have supported the military’s efforts.

We have provided links to some newspaper articles from the Monett Times concerning C Company's efforts.

“Who could see the images, hear the cries and imagine the pain
of those who lost so much in the hurricane tragedies
and not be moved to help?
The artists who participated in the Knoxville Unites event
to benefit the American Red Cross’ disaster relief efforts
simply wanted to do something to help.
Enjoying the music, the laughter and the ministry
were simply added bonuses.” - Kenny Bishop
