President's Weekly Address: Veterans Day and Fort Hood

From the White House web site:

The President looks back at a week where we honored those who serve on Veterans Day, and mourned those we lost at Fort Hood. He discusses the review he has ordered into the Fort Hood incident, and pledges to stand by our servicemen and women, as well as our veterans, as his most profound responsibility.

President's Weekly Address: Tragedy at Fort Hood

From the White House web site:

The President condemns the "despicable" attacks at Fort Hood, honoring those who were killed and injured. He also commends those who stood up to help and console those affected: "even as we saw the worst of human nature on full display, we also saw the best of America."

This was a terrible tragedy, yet as the President said we did see the worst and the best of our people as it seems we always do. Even as one person was trying to take so many lives there were others who were working to stop him and help the wounded in any way they could. That's the America I know and love, color, race, sex, nor any differences means nothing, we are all American's and we all are in need and we work together to help each other... That's what the Republican's seem to forget.

Here is the President.



Sorry I am late posting this, Mom had surgery on her shoulder yesterday and she is in a lot of pain.. it's been hard on all of us dealing with it and her.. She is very resistant to calling the doctor and getting any other help.. but I think that is the next step. Prayers and thoughts would be most welcome.
