(Lincoln, Neb.) Gov. Dave Heineman today reminded Nebraskans to fly state and U.S. flags at half-staff in tribute to the victims of yesterday’s tragedy at Ft. Hood in Texas.

“Our thoughts are with the military personnel and families touched by yesterday’s tragedy,” Gov. Heineman said. “Having had the opportunity to meet some of the soldiers serving at Ft.
