Some practical ways you can help the survivors and the families of those killed in the Fort Hood massacre yesterday.
I know that many of my fellow Kossacks are wanting to dive in and help out the victims and families at Fort Hood, because you guys are always ready to snap into action when your fellow Americans need help. You're awesome. So here are some practical ways that you can help those affected by yesterday's tragedy:
