Fort Hood buddy checks in

Fortenberry

Stan's partner at Fort Hood back in the 70s checked in with us tonight. Ken Fortenberry happened to be at Fort Hood last Sunday, reflecting on his Army service and the time he spent there with his old buddy. Tonight the two agreed that they're saddened that their old home has come to represent senseless, tragic, aberrant behavior in our society.
During their service, both Ken and Stan were involved in public information affairs at Fort Hood.
Fort Hood is the largest employer in Texas. The commanding general gave a good, straightforward news conference tonight in a difficult situation, the second deadly shooting at the post in five years.
When Ken and Stan served at Fort Hood in 1970, the military trial there of Vietnam Mai Lai massacre participants was the focus of public attention.
