Today America said goodbye to 13 American Soldiers that were killed by another American Soldier while getting ready to deploy to the Middle East to serve thier country. Our President, whom I don't always support, gave a beautiful speech giving a glimpse inot the lives of those who died and making sure the American people know that there is no true religion that belives God would tell them to kill another person.
I can't imagine the shock those families faced the day that they were told thier loved one had been killed randomly or injured randomly while at work on the base where they possibly lived as well. We see our Military bases as places of peace and solace, where military personnel know they are safe from the terrors of this world when they return from a deployment or are preparing for one. A military base is a home for our military members, and should never ever be a threatening area. It is so sad that these families have been through this.
I pray for these people and their familes and hope that justice is served as it should be in these circumstances. I applaud our president for his role in the memorial service and in allowing us a week to show national support for these victims of horrible circumstances through lowered flags. I pray for and thank all the veterans in this country, as tomorrow is Veteran's day and they are honored for thier service. And I thank all thier family members for supporting them.
As I look at my husband in his Army uniform sleeping peacefully on the couch, I can't imagine what I would do in the situation these families are facing today. Thank you to all our Military men and women, for the sacrifices you make and honorable service you perform, no matter what capacity it is in, may God keep you and bless you and shield you from this kind of backward episode. <3
