Perry says he's humbled after visiting wounded
TEMPLE, Texas (AP) - Texas governor Rick Perry has visited with
wounded victims from the Fort Hood shooting.
Perry said at a news conference on Saturday that the soldiers he
visited with told him it is an honor to serve their country and
they are committed to returning to service. He praised the care
they were receiving and described his conversations with the
soldiers as ``humbling.''
Perry says people from across the state have responded to the
tragedy, and in some cases, people lined up for hours to give blood
to help the wounded.
He says he told the wounded soldiers that the entire state is
behind them, and that ``there's 24 million Texans praying for them
and wishing them well.''
