This is a terrible tragedy that we will know more about in the coming days. For now, our focus needs to be in praying for the wounded soldiers and their families," 

My thoughts and prayers are also with the families and friends of those who have been killed.

Our dedicated military men and women have sacrificed so much in service to our country, and it sickens me that the men and women of Fort Hood have been subjected to this senseless, random violence.

Here is one of the victims that needs your prayers

Army Reserve Spc. Keara Bono's family was working up to the idea of her going to Iraq.

Bono, 21, a 2006 graduate of Olathe South High School, Kansas  was one of the people wounded Thursday at the Fort Hood military base in Texas.  Bono called and told her mother that yes, she was one of the shooting victims, hit in the back. She had also suffered abrasions on her face.

Some things we can do in addition to our prayers

Red Cross

American Legion
