On Tuesday, retired Army Sgt. Alonzo Lunsford will walk into the U.S. House for President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address wearing his dress blues.
Lunsford, one of the victims of the 2009 Fort Hood massacre, said he wants the nation to see a survivor.
“I want all Americans to see the true meaning of patriotism and resolve,” said Lunsford, who will be the guest of Rep. Roger Williams, a Republican whose congressional district stretches from the edges of Tarrant County to Austin.
“I want to be there just so that our commander in chief can see me and know that we [the Fort Hood victims] are bouncing back,” Lunsford, 47, of North Carolina, said in a phone interview. “That’s the spirit of the American soldiers.”
Lunsford, who is among those still seeking combat-related healthcare and benefits because the shooting is classified as workplace violence rather than terrorism, said he hopes his presence sends a message.
Williams and other members of Congress have been working on legislation to ensure that the victims of the attack at Fort Hood — one of the worst mass shootings on a military base, in which 13 people died and nearly three dozen were injured — receive the same benefits as Purple Heart recipients, which include combat-related special compensation.

Since Obama has already made known he is going to seize more and more unconstitutional power, there should be NO Repubs in the chamber.
Instead, they will sit there like little lambs, as legislators throughout history have when a dictator is consolidating his power.
Repeat: NO REPUBLICAN should be present at the STFU. It is the ONLY way the average zombie might perceive that something is wrong in Washington.
Keep muzzies out of our military and the Ft. Hood type problem goes away.

AGREED!
“Why would he have a Fort Hood shooter in the box?”
But the man is going as a guest of a Republican, not at Obama’s invite.
“There was only one Ft Hood shooter—and he will most definitely NOT be there.”
But he could be.
He’s not dead yet, like he should be.
The shooter survived.
You’ve got that right!
This incident was when I had my eyes open to the fact that no one on the base was armed and could stop the guy.
I’ve never been in the service—but this makes absolutely no sense to me! Our guys were left defenseless—like sitting ducks.
At the very least, I assumed the the base police would be armed. It was a real shocker for me-—and Fort Hood is not very far from my home—and very close to our “ranch” property.
If retired Army Sgt. Alonzo Lunsford has been packing there is a good possibility he could have capped the muslim before anyone died. If anyone else in the hospital had been packing there is a good possibility that the muslim could have capped before anyone died.
The deaths are the result of braindead, clueless anti-gun democrats.
Woopie doo.........
Just another victim of ‘workplace violence’ after all.......
There’s not enough room for this guy next to the First Lady. They did manage to make space for the gay basketball player, though.
another symbol of an Obama disgrace.
The Ft. Hood shooter will die of old age.
