The body of slain soldier Francheska Velez heads home this morning.
Velez was one of the 13 victims from the massacre at Fort Hood, when Maj. Nidal Hasan opened fire in a soldier readiness center at the base.
Velez, 21, was pregnant at the time of her death.
She had just returned from a tour in Iraq, from which she was released because of her pregnancy. She planned to come home to Chicago to prepare for her child’s birth.
But instead of coming home to a celebration, Velez returns to mourners.

Ping for prayers as Francheska & her baby will be laid to rest
Prayers up for Francheska's family, and shame on Raila Odinga's favorite cousin for trying to water all of this down and sweep it under the rug.
My thoughts and prayers from here...
RIP.
I was just wondering if they let the baby stay with her/his Mother.
I hope so. Prayers for everyone.

A patriot guard was formed to escort a procession past her alma mater Kelvyn Park High School
And it was announced today the Senate Investigation by Joe Lieberman has been “postponed” by directive from Obama *sigh*
Good question. Knowing the family I’m sure they would want the baby buried with her
The 14th murder victim of the Fort Hood jihadi massacre (FR Thread)
There is no way the democrats are going to allow the Fort Hood terrorist attack to maintain its momentum in National headlines complete with investigations and data.
It's all going to be watered down, and subsequently pushed off to the side.
Just wait and see.
Hardly anyone remembers the muslim who murdered a bunch of Americans on Valentine's Day 2007 in Salt Lake City because the d@mn media and FBI swept that one under the rug fairly quickly.
Same applies to that Mohammed @sshole who was terrorizing Washington DC and Virginia with a sniper rifle. Note that they never called that terrorism either.
I remember reading about a Mohammed who wanted to put some hand grenades into a trash can at a crowed mall, and run away as the grenades went off and killed Americans.
They just sweep that stuff under the rug, and act as if it never happened.
Believe me after many years on Threat Matrix I know how they play it. “Nothing to know here move along Stepford mentality.” Some research we did you never again heard of the particulars. Imagine if Americans truly knew all that was going on.
THe headlines and the charges against Hassan should be for 14 victimes.
May she R.I.P. and the Perpetual Light shine upon her.

Please ping me, IF any of the many Chicagoans in the current administration actually make even any comments about this Chicago hometown hero and her unborn child.
The silence, thus far, is resoundingly loud... but, maybe your local papers/news has something, ANYTHING?, from the Obamas or the Emanuels or the Jarretts or or or or or or or????
Maybe I missed it...
This is heart-wrenching. Thank you for memorializing her and her baby here; two lives ended before their time. God bless them and comfort the family.
