Our thoughts are with all those affected by the tragic events that took place yesterday in the Washington Navy Yard

Our thoughts are with all those affected by the tragic events that took place yesterday in the Washington Navy Yard, their families, loved ones, and fellow service men and women.

“It’s a shooting that targeted our military and civilian personnel. These are men and women who were going to work, doing their job, protecting all of us. They’re patriots, and they know the dangers of serving abroad — but today, they faced unimaginable violence that they wouldn’t have expected here at home. So we offer our gratitude to the Navy and local law enforcement, federal authorities, and the doctors who’ve responded with skill and bravery.“- President Obama.
