I’ve had several friends reach out regarding the news that the Fort Hood shooter is set to be executed. At this time, I believe our focus should be on supporting the victims and the families of those who didn’t make it home from duty. I’m sure there are a lot of emotions surrounding this news, especially for those who were directly affected. It’s hard to believe that just five years later, tragedy struck the same installation again when Ivan Lopez shot 19 of us, killing three before taking his own life. Two separate tragedies. Two generations of pain. And countless lives forever changed. Today, my heart is with the victims, their families, the survivors, and everyone who continues to carry the weight of what happened at Fort Hood.
