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
