Spc Ryan Coverdell and PFC Daniel Kitchen are both stationed at Ft Hood TX. Both have reported to their father and I that they are safe and sound! As the other mother mentioned, this was a very stressful day in our world! Spc Ryan Coverdell has been preparing to deploy next month. He's has spent hours in the readiness center. Our prayers are with our Ft Hood family and those of the injured and fallen. Both Ryan and Daniel call Reno home. I'm sure there are more soldiers from the area stationed at Ft Hood.
