Fort Hood Memorial Tribute - US Fallen week ending Nov. 07, 2009

2009 Mashable/Motorola Open Web Awards Nominated ****YouTube Best Channel****THANK YOU!!!


Week ending Nov. 07, 2009 the US Department of Defense released the names of 7 military and civilian personnel who died, while serving in the United States overseas. Additionally, they identified 13 victims of the Fort Hood massacre. Currently the DoD does not announce K9 war dogs. Instead ground troops confirmed 1 K9 was KIA.

Welcome viewers. These weekly episodes pay tribute to brave men, women and unsung heroes who paid the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of our country. This video is more than a repeat announcement of headlines typically found on mainstream media outlets. We focus on all warriors whose lives have impacted a family, friends, and neighbors around our world. Your respectful comments are welcomed and serve as memorial tributes to our fallen. Political opinions and debates are best suited elsewhere.

Please visit USFallen.org website for MY HERO family tributes, videos of military funerals and homecomings. We have centralized other key resources for survivors and returning veterans.

The White House announced that President Barack Obama will visit Fort Hood on Tuesday for a memorial service.

This is Obama's second trip to Texas since he became commander-in-chief. The first was a stop last month at Texas A&M, where he joined with the first President Bush to celebrate volunteerism and community service, marking 20 years of the Points of Light effort.

Once again, President Obama will have to fulfill the most painful presidential role, that of "consoler-in-chief."

Justin DeCrow was one of the best friends I could have ever asked for, our lives took different paths and I took for granted that our paths would cross again, now my friend is gone, I will dearly miss him but will never forget him.

My brother dated Marikay (Justin's wife) before she married Justin. After she and my brother split, she was still like a sister to me, and would still take me with her to hang with Justin and play. So I, too felt a sense of loss after hearing the news. I am very proud of his service to his country and to his family. He will be missed be many.
