Prayers for the Fallen

Ft. Hood is about 30 miles here from home. What a day it has been. 13 Fallen and 30 more injured. Under fire by one of our own.  A soldier nontheless.  What a tragedy. It saddens my heart.   The lockdown for Ft. Hood has been lifted and cars are pouring onto base.   Some victims were flown to Scott & White hospital where Rassie has been for the past few weeks.  As of now there are 4 in surgery and 5 more in the E.R. here at Scott & White.  There are many many more.   There was a an immediate blood drive and I am so proud of Central Texas for the turn out.  Tonight Scott & White is having to turn donors away and ask them to come back after 8 a.m. in the morning.  The lines were out the doors, down the side walks and around the corner. 

Say a Prayer, Hug your loved ones, Fly your Flag at halfstaff this week.  May the Fallen rest in peace and ay God be with their familes.  May God watch over the injured and be with their loved ones as well.
