Obama to meet mourning families in Ft. Hood
The memorial service will be televised worldwide, just a day before the day we commemorate the end of the Great War, Armistice Day, which now is known as Veteran's Day.

This is a day in which the nation unites, as the President represents the American people at this solemn event.

Obama to meet mourning families in Ft. Hood

WASHINGTON - Presidents get elected to run the nation. Some days that means knowing how to heal it.

For the first time since winning the White House, President Barack Obama faces such a moment Tuesday at Fort Hood. After a shooting that left 13 people dead and 29 wounded on the bustling Texas Army post, it is Obama's job to offer some comfort, if not answers.

Obama will do so privately with the families of those killed, and then publicly at a memorial service sure to be watched by American troops around the world.
