Jump TAC Operational in Texas

[von Krieg]

Hey Ed,

Killeen has a dubious record... This was the location of the Luby's massacre years ago (unrelated to the military)... and now this latest craziness...

I was caught up on the periphery of it yesterday.. but it was an inconvenience for my wife and I... it was much more to others...

I've been in the building where it occurred a long time ago (the killings occurred almost 24 hours to the minute we touched down at the airport), Since we had just returned the day before we were all running around like we didn't have a job. We had just finished eating lunch after going to the electronic store on post.. Looking at spending all the money I didn't spend in the last year... We then stopped at the grocery store on base... I heard the police sirens as we went in, but thought nothing of it... then it was total lock down...

Well, the luster is definitely off the homecoming... but life rolls on no matter how painful it is sometime...
