How to Help Ft. Hood

My prayers and thoughts are with all who were lost or injured in the Fort Hood Tragedy. My father-in-law was on the base but luckily he was safe and sound. 

Twelve people are dead and 31 are wounded after a horrific shooting Thursday at Fort Hood's soldier processing center. The gunman is Major Nidal Malik Hasan, a psychiatrist who was recently practicing at Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood and previously worked at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

If you're in Central Texas, you can donate blood to help the victims tomorrow, Friday, beginning at 8 a.m.:
Scott & White Memorial Hospital in Temple, Texas, has received 10 adult gunshot victims from Fort Hood, and is urgently seeking blood donations. Contact the hospital at 254-724-4376 and donate to the Scott & White Blood Center in Room 115 next to the McLane Dining Room. The hospital is located at:
2401 S. 31st St.
Temple, TX 76508

Follow the Scott & White Twitter account to stay updated on blood donation center needs.
