WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell made the following remarks on the Senate floor Tuesday regarding the memorial service at Ft. Hood:
“Later today, the Fort Hood community will honor the victims of the tragic shootings there last week. We were all shocked by this assault on American soldiers right in the heart of the post they called home. We mourn their loss, and we pray for the victims and their families. In the midst of this terrible tragedy, we also saw the courage of many troops and civilian law enforcement. And we thank these brave men and women for the dedication they showed in putting themselves in harm’s way."
