Dan Miller grew up in New Orleans so he is definitely a saints fan. His childhood hero is Steve Gleason.
Katrina was a tough time for him personally. The entire city was just a defunct mess.He was in high school at the time but since his School was completely flooded, he ended up bouncing around between Baton Rouge and Houston. Everything felt so uncertain with being displaced and unsure of when things could go back to normal. Nothing was ever really the same but given enough time things started to go back to normalcy. People moved back, cleaned up and schools opened again.
Once back in town, the first saints game since Katrina was a rivalry match up in the super dome between the Saints and the Falcons. Early in the first quarter, Steve Gleason blocked a punt from the Atlanta Falcons deep in their own territory. This was recovered in the end zone for a touchdown. The entire city went nuts for that play and we ended up winning that game. It meant a lot for the people to come together this way. Steve Gleason also was diagnosed with ALS and has been a great inspiration to those struggling with adversity.
