I walked by the columns dedicated \u2014 each individual one \u2014 to the 13 men and women who fell that day.  And I was deeply moved \u2014 moved by the tributes to all of those that were lost.  Like Staff Sergeant Amy Krueger, who was preparing for a tour of duty in Afghanistan before that fateful day. Or Specialist Jason Dean Hunt, who had just gotten married two months before. Or Private Francheska Velez, who had just returned from a tour of duty in Iraq and was expecting her first child. You know, the Bible tells us to mourn with those who mourn, and grieve with those who grieve.  But we do not grieve like the rest who have no hope, for our faith gives us hope and heroes give us hope. And as the 10th anniversary of that terrible day approaches next week, let me say, on behalf of the American people, to the families of our fallen and all you brothers- and sisters-in-arms: The American people are with you, and this nation will never forget or fail to honor the service and sacrifice of our heroes who fell on November 5, 2009. That is my solemn pledge. They and their families will remain in our prayers.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fair winds and following seas.<\/p>\n<p>The entire article may be viewed here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbs19.tv\/article\/news\/local\/10-years-later-fort-hood-shooting\/501-beceb5b1-d010-4e4a-8cb6-5c0f2aa84b06\">CBS 19 TV<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to one of our ninjas for the reminder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nidal Hasan \u201cOn Thursday, November 5, 2009, former U.S. Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan opened fire on &hellip; <a title=\"10 YEARS LATER: Fort Hood shooting\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=92449\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">10 YEARS LATER: Fort Hood shooting<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":657,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[359,179,406],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-92449","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-army","category-death-penalty","category-guest-link"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92449","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/657"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=92449"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92449\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":92451,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92449\/revisions\/92451"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=92449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=92449"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=92449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
