Francheska Velez, 21, had just finished a tour in Iraq and returned to Ft. Hood three months pregnant. The Army granted Velez, a 2006 graduate of Kelvyn Park High School, a maternity leave of absence and she was set to return to Chicago in just two weeks.
That is truly grim.
Heavenly angels busy welcoming heroes today...
Sad personhood ping...

There are no words for this profound loss.
I am truly sorry for the loss of BOTH persons.
And I don’t think women should be active duty military. This is one of many reasons why. We do get pregnant.
If it was my daughter...i’d spend the rest of my life and my last dime suing the government for allowing muslims into the military when we are at WAR WITH MUSLIMS!!!!
Pressure the media!! The baby was another victim...
God bless this soldier and her un-born child.
Soon women will be serving on submarines.
That will work out great.....
thank you pennie. I’m creating the thread for the family
Couldn’t have said that better!
prayers for her family and friend........
This is sickening.
Political correctness is deadly.
Hasan wanted a free medical education so he could make big bucks in America, probably so he could send money to his Palestinian brethren to kill the Big Satan and the Little Satan. Then he flubbed his work and took up proselytizing mzzieism and got shipped to TX to process out to the ME, which he tried to get out of through a lawyer. That didn’t work out for him, so he decided to handle it the way any good muzzie would - start murdering innocent people.
It’s a crying shame that cop who shot him didn’t kill him. Now we’ll spend a million or three prosecuting him, and the politically correct lies and narrative will flow.
When it was a white guy who killed his wife and unborn baby boy (Laci and Connor Peterson), the media had no problem with the “personhood” of Connor.
Let’s see if they feel the same about baby Velez.
It is -very- against the rules.
There is a mix of civilian and military population on that base. She could just as easily not been military.
Women have been active duty military for decades, usually the argument is against women in combat and close support positions.
Sadly Francheska and her little gift from God were mercilessly killed in a place where it should have been safe for both of them. Francheska and the baby will live in the hearts and minds of everyone who trains, lives and visits Fort Hood and across the nation with all of us who treasure the ultimate service she gave for her country and for us, who will also be fighting the battle against Islamic radicals outside the parameters of Fort Hood in our own homeland for what may be a very long time to come .
