President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama arrive for a memorial service on Tuesday for the thirteen victims of the shooting rampage last week at Fort Hood, Texas.

We come together filled with sorrow for the thirteen Americans that we have lost; with gratitude for the lives that they led; and with a determination to honor them through the work we carry on.

I watched this live yesterday and it was so touching. President Obama’s speech was just what the people of Fort Hood needed to hear but also what we as American’s needed to hear. I continue to pray for the families of the victims of this horrible crime as well as for all of our men & women in armed services everywhere.

This is so tragic. These people were in the comfort of their own country and yet they still stand in unsafe quarters after being at war for a long period of time. My condolences go out to the families of these people…very great eulogy by President Obama. You make us proud everyday…

This is so sad..I dont know why crazy people dont just shoot themselves instead of involving innocent people who have families and people that love them. This killing of others needs to stop.
