The Fort Wood shooting continues to rattle other military communities.

It's raising concerns about the safety and care for our men and women in uniform.

Ft. Leonard Wood says it's becoming more and more aware of the need for services for its soldiers.

"It's all about the family. We're united. No matter what, you expect that overseas, but nowhere near a base," says Joe Shepard who has a father in the military.

A feeling of sadness covers Ft. Leonard Wood after a gunman shot 13 and injured more than 30 at Fort Hood.

But Captain Jeffrey Krohn, who's a military police officer at Ft. Leonard Wood says the shooting shouldn't be about safety. "I always feel safe at our post. I don't want people to get the misconception there was a breakdown in security at Fort Hood, because there wasn't. Our bases are federally secured, and everyone knows that. We do a good job securing them."

It's the job of those like Chaplain John Bjarnason to make sure soldiers are mentally ready before and after war. "if we identify a soldier who has Post Traumatic Stress, we have what's called a warrior transition unit here."

He says soldiers go through programs before and after deployment. There's even a guide to help soldiers cope. Still some worry there's not an outside objective.

Krohn adds, "when I came back, I went through every single one of the phases you need to go through for psychologists to see that you're okay."

And sometimes Chaplain Bjarnason says they will miss one and these unfortunate tragedies happen. That's why across the nation at 2:34p.m., they took a moment to remember their fallen comrades.

"Could I ask for a moment of silence right now with you, that we remember our fallen brothers and sisters, comrades in arms, at Fort Hood," asked Chaplain Bjarnason.

Counselors say another problem is soldiers sometimes feel there's a stigma with coming forward and reporting problems.

They feel it may affect their career. But at each post there are a number of chaplains who are ready to help.
