On the morning of September 30, 2012, the charity workers manning the Veterans of Foreign Wars booth in Winter Springs, Florida were about to depart from the booth to get breakfast when an unknown number of gunmen started opening fire on them, leading to the death of two of the members and one being critically wounded.
The police say they have arrested a number of people involved and confiscated many weapons, according to one of the information officers. The Veterans of Foreign Wars has a mission to "foster camaraderie among United States veterans of overseas conflicts." Their core values state that they want to help overseas veterans and their families and promote a positive image for them.
The reason this article was written was to inform people about a current event that is a very sad thing for our country. When there is random killing of people who only want to help, then there is definitely a problem. Though it may not seem important to some people, the death of two, possibly three men is still a tragedy for this nation, because the VFW is an important service that is helping people who have protected our country and way of life, and have given up everything so that we don't have to.
