Accompanied by his wife, President Obama arrived this morning in Texas, where he will attend a memorial service at Ft. Hood, the site of last week’s shooting spree that left 13 dead.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters aboard Air Force One that the president will speak about each of the 13 killed last week.
Obama “will meet with families from those that have lost loved ones today whom we’re here to honor in the memorial service,” Gibbs said.
The president will speak at the ceremony, then will visit a hospital to meet with some of the wounded, Gibbs said.
