Watch on YouTube: Carter Calls for Ft Hood Resolution Passage on House Floor

The House and Senate recognized the upcoming anniversary of last year’s Fort Hood shootings before the House adjourned last night, as both bodies passed a resolution by Congressman John Carter (R-TX31), who represents the Fort Hood area in the House.

The Carter resolution recognized the outstanding response of military and civilian law enforcement, emergency medical personnel, and base commanders to the incident which left 14 dead and 30 wounded.

The resolution is Carter’s second bill relating to last November’s attack that have passed both Houses. Still pending are additional bills to provide combat casualty status for all those killed or wounded in the attack; authorize casualties and their families to receive charitable gifts from outside groups; amend the current Military Whistleblower Protection Act to include protections against politically-correct persecution of service members and civilian defense employees who report radical Islamic terror threats; and a requirement for Active Shooter Training for all law enforcement personnel providing security to U.S. military installations.
