Afternoon Debbie.
As you know we had a great tragedy here at Fort Hood which I work for as a Firefighter. I am a former Vet and Coast Guard Retiree.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank those of you who called me that night to check to see if I was ok and to see if there was any thing they can do.
I say thank you. It goes to show and say we all have support for our Military. This will be a hard thing to get over. Myself for sure was effected as well as all those on post who witnessed and or was directly involved with this tragedy.
So again I would like to thank all of you for your support and of that of the NWSA.
I will not forget it and Nor will the community of Fort Hood
