November 10: A memorial service is held in Fort Hood, Texas, to commemorate those killed in the November 5 shootings that claimed 13 lives and wounded 29. President Obama attends the service with his family, and in his remarks says of the fallen: “Their memory will be honored in the places they lived and by the people they touched. Their life’s work is our security, and the freedom that we too often take for granted. Every evening that the sun sets on a tranquil town; every dawn that a flag is unfurled; every moment that an American enjoys life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness — that is their legacy.”
