Arlington Cemetary Honoring Those Who Lost Their lives at Fort Hood

My thoughts go out to all of those who lost a loved one at this week's tragedy at Fort Hood.  With the approach of Veteran's Day we need to remember that each headstone and flag at Arlington Cemetery represents a loved one who served our country honorably.  Keep our troops both at home and at war in your thoughts this week.

Cindy,

That was a sad case; we haven't heard the last of this for a while.

We attended the Veteran's Day parade in Manassas last Saturday.  The color guard at the head of the parade was from Fort Hood - the ovation they received was deafening

Cindy, it was a horribly sad day, even for us, when we heard about it.
Hopefully something like that will never happen again.

Sylvie-tragedies like this are hard to hear of and so senseless.  We can only hope that it doesn't happen again.

Steve-this is the first year in a long time that I am not in town for Veteran's Day and making a visit to my husband's final resting place.  However he and all of those who are buried there will always be in my thoughts and prayers.
