Speechless Sunday-Honoring All of Those Who Lost Their Lives at Fort Hood

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

Terry-it is a tragedy and one that hopefully we will not see again in the near future.

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

Cindy, what a beautiful photo.  This is going to be a very sad Veterans Day for many families.

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

Pat-yes it is just one of 365 days a year when we should remember those who serve our country.

I always get chills when I see photos like this one.  We will all remember them for a while.

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.

Dedra-Arlington is an amazing place to see.  Today is a great day to say thank you to all who serve our country.
