Kansas
City, Mo. — “Our support and prayers go out to
Cpl. Nathan Cirillo’s loved ones and the entire Ottawa community after yesterday’s
senseless shooting,” said John W. Stroud, the national commander of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States.
“While
many details behind the shooting remain unknown, this soldier’s family and
community need our support. Now is the time for our leaders in Washington to
stand united with the Canadian government, and in the days ahead, provide
support by any means necessary.
“Yesterday
was a sad reminder that no nation is safe against terrorism and together we
must stand against this evil.”
