When GI Joe and Jane
Marched safely home again
A grateful nation cried...
In their homeland they died

Article in wikipedia reads in part:
On November 5,2009, a gunman opened fire in the Soldier Readiness Center of Fort Hood, killing 13 people and wounding 30 others. The gunman, Nidal Malik Hasan, a U.S. Army Major and psychiatrist, was shot and incapacitated by civilian police officers Kimberly Munley and Mark Todd.

Words could not express the emotions I feel as I think about the senseless murders recently in Texas. Instead of taking initiative to deal with it, the politicians and officials are in their usual 'blame-game'.
May God have mercy on out ignorance and arrogance!
I fear we have become so wise, we are but fools.
I offer my prayers to the families and I pray for a swift and exact punishment for the perpetrator.
May God continue to bless America and guide her in truth and justice!
