Do the right thing, keep your word to take care of the victims of the terrorist attack on Ft. Hood.

On November 5, 2009, Major Nidal Hasan went on a shooting rampage at Ft. Hood in Texas. The single gunman killed 13 people and wounded 32 others. Despite extensive evidence that Hasan was in communication with al Qaeda leader Anwar al-Awlaki prior to the attack, the military has denied the victims a Purple Heart and is treating the incident as "workplace violence" instead of "combat related" or terrorism. Soldiers and civilian police officers have reported a lack of psychological and medical care after the attack, including being told "...it wasn't so bad, it wasn't combat" in response to PTSD complaints. The President and the military must re-examine their stance on this attack. These soldiers and peace officers deserve recognition and the best care possible for what they went through.
