News Channel 9 In Syracuse, New York and Photojournalist Kevin Torres both recently won mention for their onlines news and video presentations at the Associated Press Awards dinner in Saratoga Springs, NY. No small feat considering the competition.
Torres received notice for his video documentary "Mission to the Gulf" which is a moving piece about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina torn New Orleans and the work of Operation Southern Comfort volunteers to restore life to the area - one home at a time.
This catastrophe has so dramatically changed the lives of those in the path of destruction and those of us here in the CNY region that have become inextricably connected to these folks after the many "missions" since 2005.
We are truly lucky to have what we have.........especially our new friends!
Thank you Kevin and Channel 9!
