President Obama's Weekly Address: On The Tragedy at Fort Hood

The White House has announced that President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama will travel to Fort Hood on Tuesday, Nov. 10, to attend the memorial service for the victims of the shooting that occurred last week. On Wednesday, in honor of Veteran's day, Mrs. Obama and Second Lady Jill Biden will roll out ServiceNation, an initiative to unite the worlds of military and civilian service, by engaging civilians and active and retired military personnel in service to meet the many critical needs of the nation and, in particular, the needs of the military community (service members, veterans, and their families). This week, President Obama's weekly address was about Fort Hood. He noted that Even as we saw the worst of human nature on full display, we also saw the best of America. We saw the valor, selflessness, and unity of purpose that makes our service men and women the finest fighting force on earth...and that make all of us proud to be Americans.
