    Our thoughts are with you all here in Australia, we heard it on the news this morning, and terrible news it was.

    It's just incredible that this happened. I too am just shocked, saddened, sickened, etc. It does hit very close to home. Sad it took an event like this, but I hope now the military wakes up to the need for mental health care for everyone since the shooter had undergone counseling before.

    I work on an Army base and I feel the same way. It was surreal - and I was praying for those I may know there - a friend of mine just deployed from there.

    It was truly sad and shocking to watch the news of that on TV just now. Who would have thought.

    I can only imagine how you feel. I've never experienced anything to that degree, but I was in the Air Force during Desert Storm. War stress alone is bad enough without having to worry about what's going to happen on the base by your own. Very sad situation. Take care... love, hugs and prayers.

    The entire thing is just sad. Then the horrible shooting in Orlando the very next day! What is our world coming too? Just sad

    I can not begin to fathom the fear this must instill in your an all military families. As so you eligantly put how can someone who served along side these men and women just turn on his own country men/women. I will be praying for you and all the military families! Again thank you for all your family gives for us to have the peace and comfort that we do.

    I'm a military wife, too. I remember being in the readiness center as we prepared for my husband's tour. I, too, am sickened to my core. As always, all miitary families are in my prayers, but most especially today, the Fort Hood families -- military and civilian.
