Dierks Bentley & The Hero of Ft. Hood

Just announced: Dierks Bentley will be on ABC News with Charles Gibson and ABC Nightline tonight about Ft Hood.
>In the aftermath of shooting spree at Fort Hood, Texas, that killed 13 people and injured another 30, Dierks Bentley learned that he had a connection to the civilian police officer who stopped the rampage. The singer was featured in a photo with the officer, Kimberly Munley, that made its way to television news shows and the Internet. Bentley met Munley earlier this year during a Fourth of July music festival at the U.S. Army post near Killeen, Texas. Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, opened fire Thursday (Nov. 5) at Fort Hood. Munley was at the scene and shot Hasan in the upper torso, which allowed authorities to apprehend him. Munley was shot in the thighs and wrist. In a Twitter message, Bentley said he managed to contact Munley, who is still being treated at a Killeen-area hospital. Bentley's Twitter message stated, "was able to speak to sgt munley & pass along my prayers for a speedy recovering. she's tough! and couldn't be more nice or humble. real hero."

What others are saying
- Good Job son........Proud of you Dierks and am very glad you had a connection with her prior. Maybe some of your friends can hold a concert to help defray some of the medical costs of the those injured? This would also make a statement in support of the war cause, maybe not the war, but more in support of the participants in the arena. That is one of the beauty's of being a celebrity is they have access to going overseas and performing for all of our heroes. In this case Kimberly stood REALLY TALL even after taking numerous shots, she held steady and did her job. She should be awarded the highest awards, but they her call her Sgt. now, Captain has a better ring to it, don't you think? Thanks Dierk for being there for her when she needs the support of all, and thank you for passing along all of our prayers. Have a great weekend..................
