Last night was a tremendous victory for the victims and families of the 2009 Fort Hood terror attack. Victims and families could soon receive Purple Hearts thanks to language entered in the House’s National Defense Authorization Act last night. This amendment adjust the Purple Heart criteria and awards the honor to service member who are victims of an attack inspired by a foreign terrorist organization. I thank Mike Conaway , Mac Thornberry and the members of the House Armed Services Committee Republicans for their overwhelming support of this effort.
