Remember the Victims of the Fort Hood Rampage

In his first address during a time of national mourning, President Obama on Tuesday hailed the victims of the deadly Fort Hood shooting as heroes, saying "no words can fill the void that has been left."

Obama, who traveled to Fort Hood to console survivors and family members of victims of the deadly massacre that killed 13 and wounded 29 last week, said, "We come together filled with sorrow for the thirteen Americans that we have lost, with gratitude for the lives that they led, and with a determination to honor them through the work we carry on."

The president said the memory of those who died "will be honored in the places they lived and by the people they touched."
