McCaul Statement on Congressional Agreement to Award Purple Hearts to Ft. Hood Victims

WASHINGTON, DC – Following House passage of the language included in the FY15 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that awards Purple Hearts to the victims of the 2009 Ft. Hood terrorist attack, Congressman Michael McCaul (R-TX) released the following statement.

McCaul: “After more than five years, I am pleased that the House and Senate have agreed on legislation honoring the victims of the terrorist attack at Ft. Hood by awarding them the purple heart. I want to personally thank Congressman John Carter and Congressman Roger Williams for leading this effort and fighting for justice for the victims and their families. It is my hope that those affected by this terrorist attack will find a sense of justice that has been denied for too long. I urge President Obama to sign this legislation honoring our heroes and their families."
