Hundreds of sailors and Marines stood in long lines on both sides of a road at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida, in a silent and moving tribute Sunday as the parents of slain Ensign Joshua Kaleb Watson drove onto the base.
Benjamin and Sheila Watson posted a 10-minute Facebook video of their slow ride past the saluting service members. The only sounds on the video are Sheila Watson's sobs. At one point, Benjamin Watson, at the wheel, reaches across to hold his wife's hand.
Watson, 23, of Enterprise, Alabama, a recent Naval Academy graduate and pilot in training; Airman Mohammed Sameh Haitham, 19, of St. Petersburg, Florida; and Airman Apprentice Cameron Scott Walters, 21, of Richmond Hill, Georgia, were killed Sunday in a shooting rampage at the base.
Eight others were wounded or injured in the incident early last Friday in a classroom building at the base. The FBI has identified Royal Saudi Air Force 2nd Lt. Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, who was in training at Pensacola, as the shooter.

When will we learn?
There are NO safe muslims.
Any of them can suddenly start following the example and instructions of their prophet without warning.
Heartbreaking.
Our govt won’t learn. The left won’t learn.
This problem will hash itself out when the big reset occurs. Just hope it happens while I’m still of fighting age.
Underscores the absurdity that trained commissioned officers on active duty in the United States armed forces are not permitted to carry their sidearms on base while on duty.
If that Saudi lowlife knew those men were armed, the coward would have never even tried to pull that stunt.
I am sure there are safe Muslims but the problem is telling them apart.
ANY of them can suddenly start following the example of their prophet without warning.
There are NO safe muslims.
Just heartbreaking for the parents and angers me. This shit with saudi pilots NEEDS TO STOP.
They cannot be trusted AT ALL.
The only possibly safe muslims are former muslims that have repudiated the Koran.
23, 21, 19
Just kids.
He was not allowed to carry a sidearm in Pensacola.
That's psychotic.
No, not kids. They stopped being kids when they swore their Oath of Enlistment, or were awarded their commission.
I’ll be 60 next month.
To me, anyone that age is a kid.

While I understand your Post, three Airmen were murdered by the Perp.
Note the name of the second one. He may have been a Muslim for all we know, but he was a Hero who along with his Comrades attempted to stop the Murdering SOB from killing more Patriots.
I’m 51 this year, and still haven’t gotten used to younger people calling me “sir” after I retired.
“Fox & Friends” had an extended interview with Watson’s family this morning. Terrible loss for the family but he was a true hero, probably saved a lot of lives.
There are NO safe muslims.
I dont recall any muslim apologizing for the terrorist acts against innocents of their brethren nor have I heard any expressions of regret. Until that happens they all share in the blame and are not deserving of our acceptance. Islamaphobia? ...I think not!
Would you call on the Pope to apologize when a Catholic (I know much rarer than a Muslim) commits an act of terror.
