Today, after the horror and confusion of yesterday, the military base in Killeen Texas mourns. The communities surrounding the Fort, Temple included, pulled together to assist those who were in need. Mother's ,whose children were in a locked down situation, are reunited with their children. Imagine a mother's terror. Husband in Iraq and they are at work. The child in day care at Fort Hood. It was insane.

Initial bad reporting stated that there were three shooters. There was only one. Reports stated the shooter was in psychiatric care - the shooter had his degree in psychiatry. Jumping the gun (sorry, bad expression huh) news across the country mis-stated what had happened. Thirteen people dead. Is that not bad enough?

My neighbors rushed to Scott and White Hospital to give blood, overhead helicopters kept flying in to the hospital, the largest in the area. S&W is huge but this emergency taxed it's doctors and nurses.

What were people saying?

"In our own community, one of our own killed our soldiers!"

"What is wrong with the military that they didn't know about this guy?"

"Thank God my son/daughter wasn't on base today!"

The rest of the country - the U.S of A. - reads a Twitter about it in 140 characters, shrugs and goes on. We have gotten too indifferent to violence.

I pray for the families who face Thanksgiving with little to be thankful for.
