WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will attend a memorial service Tuesday honoring victims of the Ford Hood shootings, an attack he described as “all the more heartbreaking and all the more despicable” because it occurred on the nation’s largest Army post.
He praised those who ended the shootings and lauded the armed services’ diversity — a move designed to calm tensions about shooting suspect Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan.
“They are Americans of every race, faith and station,” he said Saturday.
