Coming together through a tragedy is what makes us stronger, it's what keep us going, even we when we feel as if we've been kicked in the gut. Kicked in the gut is how I think most of us feel after the attack on Fort Hood. There is nothing we can do, to turn back the hands of time, to bring back those that we lost and loved so very much, but we can support those that they loved so very much, in Honor of them.
