CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Recognizing the anniversary of the tragic shootings that 
occurred at Fort Hood, Texas, on November 5, 2009. 
Whereas, on November 5, 2009, a gunman entered the Sol-
dier Readiness Processing Center at Fort Hood, Texas, 
and opened fire on military and civilian personnel who 
were preparing for deployment or who had recently re-
turned to the United States from overseas; 
Whereas 13 people were killed, including 12 soldiers, one of 
whom was an expecting mother, and one former soldier; 
Whereas 31 people were wounded, and some of the wounded 
required months of care and rehabilitation; 
Whereas civilian and military law enforcement personnel of 
the Department of Defense acted swiftly and coura-
geously to neutralize the threat; 
Whereas Army medics immediately began treating the wound-
ed, greatly reducing the loss of life; 
Whereas nearby Army personnel selflessly evacuated wounded 
individuals to safety prior to the threat being eliminated; 
and 
Whereas the Fort Hood regional communities, the State of 
Texas, military service organizations and countless Amer-
icans united in support of the Fort Hood victims and 
their families: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That Congress—
