Message from the CAR-Ft Hood Tragedy  

The Army Family suffered a stunning tragedy at Fort Hood when Soldiers assembled for pre-deployment processing were attacked by a lone gunman. During this tragic event five Army Reserve Soldiers were killed and many others injured.

My wife Laura and I are deeply troubled by these tragic events, and our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the fallen and the wounded. I assure you that the Army Reserve will do everything in its power to help them through these heartbreaking times.

I ask that you remember our dead and wounded Soldiers and keep their Families in your thoughts and prayers. At the same time, I must ask that you stay focused on your mission and continue to take care of your Soldiers and one another. Our brave men and women in uniform train constantly to preserve our security around the world. It is a tragedy when we lose Soldiers to such senseless violence here at home.
