President Barack Obama traveled to Fort Hood, Texas Tuesday to console a nation and pay personal tribute to the 13 American soldiers killed at the Army post last week before nearly 15,000 mourners at a memorial service, many of them soldiers in camoflage.
“This is a time of war,” Obama said. “And yet these Americans did not die on a foreign field of battle. They were killed here, on American soil, in the heart of this great American community. It is this fact that makes the tragedy even more painful and even more incomprehensible.”
