                               RESOLUTION

 
  Expressing the sense of the Senate regarding the tragic shooting at 
                 Fort Hood, Texas, on November 5, 2009.

Whereas Fort Hood, Texas, the largest military installation in the world, is 
        home to numerous distinguished units of the Armed Forces of the United 
        States, including the Third Corps, the First Calvary Division, the Third 
        Armored Calvary Regiment, and others;
Whereas Fort Hood has long been a source of pride for the State of Texas and for 
        all the people of the United States who value the selfless service and 
        sacrifice or our men and women in uniform;
Whereas the soldiers, family members, and civilian employees who live and serve 
        at Fort Hood play a critical role in the defense of our Nation;
Whereas the soldiers of Fort Hood have served with honor and distinction in the 
        Global War on Terror, frequently on the front lines in the combat 
        theaters of Iraq and Afghanistan; and
Whereas the Fort Hood community experienced a monumental tragedy on November 5, 
        2009, when a gunman opened fire on large groups of soldiers on the 
        installation: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) offers its deepest and most sincere condolences to the 
        families, friends, and loved ones of the innocent victims 
        killed or wounded in the senseless violence that occurred on 
        November 5, 2009;
            (2) offers support and hope for a full recovery for those 
        who have been wounded;
            (3) honors the heroic service, actions, and sacrifices of 
        law enforcement personnel, first responders, soldiers present 
        on the scene, medical personnel, and countless others who aided 
        the innocent victims of this attack; and
            (4) shares in the pain and grief felt by the people of the 
        United States in the aftermath of this tragic event.
                                 <all>
