In Dothan, Alabama a man had a TV on in his office when the news of the Ft. Hood base shootings came on. The husband of one of his employees was stationed there. He called her into his office and the minute he told her what was going on, she got a text message from her husband saying, "I am okay."
The cell phone started ringing right after that. It was an ER nurse. She said, "I'm the one who just sent you a text, not your husband." She thought the message would be comforting, but she immediately knew she had to let the wife know what was going on. She said, "I am sorry but your husband has been shot 4 times and he is in surgery."
The wife left Dothan and drove all night.
Miraculously, her husband will recover and was awake when his wife arrived. Here is a photo of them along with a couple who came by to visit with the wounded and their families privately. They had told the base commander to keep their visit secret as they wanted no press coverage. Guess that's why you didn't read about it. Class tells, doesn't it?
