A hand-hammered stainless steel fleur-de-lis pendant on a chain hangs in front of a house's painted search-and-rescue symbol reading "9-15, TF18, 0" inside a large X.

Hand hammered stainless steel fleur de lis pendant photographed in front on a search symbol painted on a house in Arabi, LA. This fleur de lis pendant was designed and made by John Doherty of Denver, CO via Slidell & New Orleans. This design with the twisted petals was inspired by the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. Additional information is available at: www.johndiron.com

*I am not a victim of Katrina. I am from the area and was visiting Slidell when the storm was bearing down on the area. I safely evacuated and made it home to Denver on the evening 8-29-05.
