As soon as I went on the internet today, I was greeted on Comcast by a preview to an article that said "President Obama says the names of Fort Hood Victims aloud...". This caught my attention after we talked about how the names of the 9/11 victims are read at ground zero every year, and I figured I'd share it with you guys. It's another example of how names are used as memorials.
Here's the full article:

They were announcing the names on the news today as well. They showed a picture of each person and told a little about them (rank, marriage, children,etc.). I thought by showing the picturea and talking about them it furthur made each person seem individualized.
