Washington, DC – Interfaith Alliance President, Rev. Dr. C. Welton Gaddy, issued the following statement today following the tragic shooting at Fort Hood.

Yesterday’s shooting at Fort Hood is a national tragedy of unspeakable proportions. My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims, along with their families and friends. In the coming days we should all take a moment to reflect on the enormous sacrifice the men and women who serve in our armed forces make on our behalf everyday.
