Live video of the Fort Hood memorial service

Deployment is part of service. The survivors to these soldiers should not be denied benefits because their lives ended on our and their home land. Training missions are no different either. The survivors of all these losses should receive support through compensation by the USA military. Their lives were just as valuable as any soldier already in Iraq or Afghanistan. It was not a combat death, but, their lives were ended in a capacity that would have placed them in combat. Compensation is a small price to pay for the loyalty of these wonderful Americans. It will not replace those lost to their families and friends, but, it will help to return function to the lives of those left behind.
