The Commander of Fort Hood, Texas, the place where an Army psychiatrist named Nidal Malik Hasan, who is a member of the "religion of peace", killed 13 soldiers and wounded 30 others, ordered that its' soldiers would commemorate Memorial Day this year not with an ice-cream cone, but with a pair of boots on the ground for every one of their soldiers who was killed in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Link to a 8/30/14 story in the Los Angeles Times about Nidal Malik Hasan's request to join "the Islamic State", made from Death Row.
The soldiers who died at Fort Hood are now eligible to receive Purple Hearts for the injuries, including the 13 soldiers who received fatal injuries. Link to a story on the ABC News website datedFebruary 6, 2015.
