Thank you for posting this. Glad to see this. I thought the applause during the Ft Hood service was also somewhat subdued except for some of the democrats in attendance. I kept watching the TV to see if any of the soldiers would turn their backs to the CIC.
I know that some thought about it, but were reminded that they were there to honor the dead, not to make a political statement.
I am VERY proud of our soldiers who maintained honer, respect and dignity throughout the service.
