This comes to us on Veterans Day by way of The Soldier’s Project. Dr. Edward Tick is the Director of Soldier’s Heart, a non-profit that aims to heal and support returning war veterans and their families and communities.
THE FT. HOOD TRAGEDY BELONGS TO US ALL
Edward Tick, Ph.D.
I have had the great honor of working with our fine and dedicated troops at Ft. Hood. I have spent time with the clergy, behavioral staff, officers and troops. I was deeply impressed and moved by their degree of commitment, sincerity, love of country and service, and willingness to sacrifice.

When will our consciences grow so tender that we will
act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?
~ Eleanor Roosevelt
