URGENT ALERT: Five years after the 2009 Fort Hood terror attack our Obama-led military has awarded the victims and survivors earned Purple Heart and other decorations for valor… without any of the medical benefits that traditionally go with meritorious recognition of those injured or killed in combat with a foreign enemy.

Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz is already on the warpath over this on-going shameful, intentional, injurious insult to our Fort Hood soldiers – and we need YOU to back him up!

"It is outrageous and indefensible," Cruz told Fox News Channel's Fox and Friends. "One of the reasons we fought so hard to pass the legislation to require the Purple Hearts to be awarded is precisely so that these soldiers get the benefits they deserve. I intend to reach out to the Secretary of Defense personally. Enough games! Five years is far too long. We need to acknowledge the heroism of these soldiers."

DEMAND CRUZ AND EVERY OTHER SENATOR AND CONGRESSMAN TAKE UP THE FIGHT TO RE-INTRODUCE AND PASS H.R. 705, the "Fort Hood Victims and Families Benefits Protection Act"!

"I think it's almost unheard of for someone to receive the Purple Heart but not have their injuries deemed combat-related," Shawn Manning, who was seriously injured in the 2009 attack when he was shot SIX TIMES, told Fox News. "I know that was not what Congress intended to have happen, but it is what currently the Army has determined is going to happen."

According to a report by Fox News' Catherine Herridge, Manning submitted his paperwork for benefits for consideration – something the Army says the victims must do! – only to be DENIED.

"Section 571 of the 2015 National Defense Authorization Act addresses both the awarding of the Purple Heart to service members killed or wounded in attacks inspired or motivated by foreign terrorist organizations and the Defense of Freedom Medal for those members and civilians killed or wounded during the Fort Hood attack on 5 November 20009," states the rejection letter sent to Manning.

"Nowhere in the act, however, does it offer combat benefits for service members permanently disabled in attacks inspired or motivated by foreign terrorist organizations. Although subsequent legislation and guidance may change, currently, the Board has no authority to award V1/V3 (service related) designation to soldiers disabled during the Fort Hood attack."

According to that same Herridge report:

Army spokeswoman Cynthia O. Smith told Fox News in a statement, "All recipients of the Purple Heart Medal under section 571 of the NDAA 2015 will receive the benefits to which they are legally entitled. In the case at issue, no final decision has been rendered, and the Soldier will have a full opportunity to present evidence at a formal hearing."

Based on the statement, Fox News followed up to ask if it is the Army's intention that the Fort Hood Purple Heart recipients would need to go to a formal hearing, as is the case with Manning, to prove their injuries are combat-related. There was no further comment from the Army.

Those who were wounded BY ISLAMIC TERRORIST HASAN that November day still face serious medical issues. Staff Sgt. Shawn Manning has two bullets in him. Staff Sgt. Alonzo Lunsford lost an eye. Kimberly Munley, the civilian Defense Department police officer who was the first person to return fire on the terrorist Nidal Hasan can no longer work in law enforcement because of her physical injuries. She and others are suffering from anxiety and post-traumatic stress.

One survivor, Staff Sgt. Josh Berry, committed suicide on February 13, 2013.

THIS OBAMA ADMINISTRATION IS A DISGRACE. CONGRESS MUST INTERVENE!

We know all too well the "fundamental transformation" Obama is bringing to our nation's military… and this administration, which persistently has deemed the attack as "workplace violence" spitefully wants the Purple Heart designation to remain purely symbolic! Obama INSISTS the Islamic CAUSE AND PURPOSE of Hasan's mayhem be kept as low profile as possible – and the increasingly P.C. Army bureaucracy which punishes our Christian clergy, and can afford gay pride celebrations and its own traveling boy band, is only too happy to NOT ROCK OBAMA'S BOAT.

Obama's pen and phone for these brave Americans is curiously absent and only Congress re-introducing Texas Republican Rep. "Judge" John Carter's H.R. 705, the Fort Hood Victims and Families Benefit Protection Act, and PUTTING IT VETO-PROOF ON OBAMA'S DESK will ensure our Fort Hood heroes receive the benefits they EARNED as the shooter shouted the Islamic jihad war cry "Allahu Akbar" or "God is great" AS HE OPENED FIRE ON THEM!

These men and women and their families cannot wait for Obama to make it right… because that day will never come! And the Army brass under his command are becoming a disgrace in their willing complicity.

Congress can and must make passing this critical legislation a priority!  Please, Blast Fax your petitions to all 435 Representatives and all 100 Senators demanding H.R. 705 Purple Heart benefits for our soldiers!

And to prevent further mayhem on military bases, Congress MUST let our military personnel open carry their personal weapons, and PROTECT themselves!

ISIS and its "Lone Wolf" operatives here in the United States have already made threats to our military men and women with every intention of killing as many as possible in the name of Allah. In Indiana, a National Guardsman and his cousin – BOTH MUSLIMS – were arrested for plotting to murder as many Guardsmen as possible before JOINING ISIS OVERSEAS.

On-base open carry rights are needed MORE THAN EVER!

Among President Bill Clinton's first acts taking office in 1993 was to disarm U.S. soldiers on military bases. In March 1993, the Army imposed regulations forbidding military personnel from carrying their personal firearms and making it almost impossible for commanders to issue firearms to soldiers in the U.S. for personal protection. For the most part, only military police regularly carry firearms on base, and their presence is stretched thin by high demand for MPs in war zones.

Thanks to Clinton and idiotic Democrat gun control orthodoxy, our military bases are now effectually "gun-free zones" and magnets for rampage killers. Terrorists and lunatics would face more return fire attacking most liquor stores than either gunman faced at Fort Hood, home of the heavily armed and feared 1st Cavalry Division. Open carry MUST be restored to our military facilities.

John Galligan, attorney for Army psychiatrist-turned-terrorist Nidal Hasan, PREDICTED it was unlikely that Hasan's victims will receive any compensation for their suffering during the 2009 Fort Hood shooting rampage.

In this pre-meditated terrorist attack, 13 individuals and one pre-born baby were MURDERED in the name of Allah. Obama and his administration still insist that this terrorist act was "workplace violence" rather than an Islamic terrorist attack!

Only Congress can act to RIGHT THIS WRONG by re-introducing and veto-proofing H.R. 705 and by making sure our soldiers are not left DEFENSELESS on American soil against future terrorists!

Fort Hood TERRORIST Nidal Hasan was quickly found guilty on 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder after his "jihad against U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan."

And TODAY Hasan is awaiting execution, after a unanimous sentence of death from the military panel trying his case.

But while it didn't take this jury more than a month to SEE THE OBVIOUS, the Obama administration STILL REFUSES to acknowledge the truth – that Nidal Hasan's 2009 mass shooting was NOT "workplace violence" but an act of Islamist terrorism right here on American soil, and these soldiers HAVE EARNED combat benefits.

Yet wasn't CONCERN over compromising Hasan's trial the BIG EXCUSE for not calling the TERRORIST ATTACK "TERRORISM"?

What is Obama's excuse NOW?

This is WHY Cruz and Cornyn NEED YOUR HELP TODAY to FINALLY see justice done for the families and survivors of Fort Hood!

There is no reason H.R. 3199 AND 705 shouldn't sail the whole way through the House and Senate straight to Obama's desk!

PLEASE HELP US DEMAND that the WHOLE Congress stand up to buttress and if necessary ENFORCE our soldiers' fight for truth and justice! We MUST DELIVER OUR DEMAND to Capitol Hill to get behind our soldiers or get out of office!

AMERICA, OBAMA MUST NOT GET AWAY WITH BRUSHING THE FORT HOOD TERROR ATTACK OFF WITH SYMBOLISM WHEN IT COMES TO PURPLE HEART BENEFITS WHILE THE ISLAMISTS EMBOLDENED BY NO MEANINGFUL CONDEMNATION SLOWLY TAKE OVER AT HOME AND ABROAD.

Defend our soldiers and defend our freedom by STOPPING the P.C. crisis wreaking havoc on our military might and national security! Stop this administration's Islamist-coddling lies that murderous Muslim killers shouting "Allahu Akbar" are NOT trying to exterminate and conquer us!

FIVE years later – STEP UP for our military men and women of Fort Hood who were wounded and who even made the ultimate sacrifice for American freedom confronting a hate-filled, murderous jihadist… HELP ensure that Congress RESTORES OPEN CARRY for our soldiers, not more WEAPONS CONFISCATIONS and DEMAND that Obama, the Congress and the Pentagon finally honor our military victims of fatal P.C. policies with BENEFITS and proper CARE for their families.
