Sad day for US Military

[siv1]

Today, 5 soldiers from Fort Hood, TX died in flooding, a member of the Blue Angels was killed in a crash, and a Thunderbird pilot crashed but parachuted to safety. Prayers for all the families.

It looks like it was a total of nine soldiers lost in the Fort Hood flooding accident.

The names have not been released because apparently the military has a policy of not releasing names until 24 hours AFTER the families have been notified... so very civilized. I wish more groups would use this approach.

This is so awful. My thoughts are with their families. I love watching the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds.
