Yesterday, the President and First Lady attended a memorial ceremony at the Fort Hood Military Base, remembering those who lost their lives in last week's tragic shooting at the base. As the President said:

It was love for country that inspired these three Americans to put on the uniform and join the greatest Army that the world has ever known ... They lived those shining values -- loyalty, duty, honor -- that keep us strong and free.
