" Arkansas soldiers were very concerned and very shocked that something like this had occurred," said 142nd Fire Brigade Chaplain Mark Golaway.
The news of Thursday's shooting at the Fort Hood resonated across the nation.
And once news broke that the shooter was a soldier himself, that shock turned to anger.
And as the names of the 13 people killed in the attack were released, the anger turned to sadness.
At Fort Chaffee in Fort Smith, soldiers reacted to the shooting with concern.
In light of the news, Chaplain Golaway with the 142 Fire Brigade says the soldiers have banded together.
He says the soldiers realize that even though the shooting was on a military base, it could happen anywhere. "There has been no fear response at all. We do realize this is an isolated incident and our soldiers depend on one another," said Chaplain Golaway.
Members of the 142nd Live Fire Brigade have passed through Fort Hood.
Some even still wear the patch from their unit at Fort Hood.
Chaplain Golaway says that makes Thursday's tragedy even more painful. "It does hit close to home because it's not just another soldier somewhere else in the world but its somebody they may have run into and people they have met before," he said.
