ACTION ALERT: FT. HOOD SHOOTINGS November 6th, 2009 8 : 09 AM
Our Family has a soldier stationed at Ft. Hood. We have contacted him and he is safe. Overnight I have made contact with friends at the 1st Cav and I am collecting cards and letters from the public of support for those who were injured and for the families of those who were killed. We will collect your cards and letters of support and get them to the correct individuals in bulk via Federal Express. Send them today! It costs you 44 cents to support these troops and their famlies. Pass this email along to your friends. We must continue to support our troops both at home and in their deployment.
If you have war hate mail (and yes I still get those) just send it to me and I will personally write you back no matter if it takes me a year to hand write them all. My family serves this nation and we'll be damned if we stand any disrespect of our military. Our military makes no policy or gets involved in politics - this has to do with them volunteering to uphold your rights to complain by upholding our US Constitution. You will receive a copy of the US Constitution with my reply.
Please address your cards and letters as follows:
Ft. Hood, Injured c/o OPAC 560 Peoples Plaza, #121 Newark DE 19702
Ft. Hood, Family of those killed c/o OPAC 560 Peoples Plaza, #121 Newark, DE 19702
Hate Mail: Mrs. Frankie Mayo, President Operation AC, Inc. 560 Peoples Plaza #121 Newark, DE 19702
11 Killed where US Army soldiers, 1 was a civilian. I am certain these families will be thankful for your outpouring of support in this aweful time. The injured will be glad to receive your support during their recovery. It helps their mental health to know, that Americans still care about the sacrifices they make for our freedom.
Please keep ALL members of our United States Military in your prayers. This is a horrible disaster at home. I was sickened when I heard about it moments before it hit the news.
We must never give up, we must continue on supporting our troops they need us now more than ever!
God Bless our Troops and thank you for your support of our troops. Times are tough in our nation - it is the cost of a stamp.

Thanks. :)
Can someone post the address of the local mosque this killer attended. What happened to the two accomplishes they were hunting or has it been determined this is a solo act?

Thanks for the info and will take advantage of it. Have a son deploying soon to Afghanistan.
I want to speak up for the quality and character of our soldiers. I retired from Fort Hood, but have been away too long to know any of the people involved and have no additional sources of information.
These soldiers were attacked out of the blue and for no good reason -— and yet the attacker left the room ALIVE. How easy would it have been “in the heat of battle” to take this assailant’s life from him? How many times have our soldiers been accused of atrocities because they “snapped” after seeing their buddies killed and wounded? How antagonistic would the cries of “allah akbar” been on the ears of the troops gathered there? And yet, we see the true heroism and patriotism of the soldiers that represent our USA!
The soldiers in that building saw the attacker firing on them, yet once they had him subdued they sent for a medic for him as well as all the rest. Once the aggressor became a noncombatant due to injuries, they not only allowed him to keep his life, but probably actually gave lifesaving care.
These soldiers are our most unrecognized heroes when it comes to their willingness to put self aside and do what is good and just and right even in the heat of battle, with the screams of their fellow soldiers in their ears, and the smell of blood and fear in the air. That soldiers can be counted on to do WHAT IS RIGHT in these most extreme of circumstances speaks more about their quality and character than my pitiful words can convey.
THANK GOD FOR THE SOLDIERS OF THE USA!!!
