Hurricanes Harvey and Irma have devastated homes and families across the nation — but these disasters cannot destroy the American spirit. 
 
In a time of deep division in our country, the commonality of facing a natural disaster has brought Americans together like none other. 
 
We watched the Cajun Navy volunteer their time, boats and hard work in Texas. We've seen countless resource centers open up across both Florida and Texas — organizations small and large pitching in to help. 
 
Everyone who could lend a helping hand did — and in the face of tragedy, everyday heroes emerged from the wreckage. 
 
This is the best of America and we want to celebrate that today, while also paying tribute and sending love to those affected by these horrific events.
