gerald reed.ervice as our nation comes together to mourn and bless the souls of the victims of the senseless violence that played out last monday at the washington naval yard. the president and first lady are there and dignitaries on hand to speak who are quietly leaving this memorial service. alongside me watching this is father jonathan morris. at one point the president got pretty political in his 20 minutes of speaking but this was a lot of scripture today and you say that there were some words that people needed to hear. >>guest: it is surprising but also refreshing to see that in moments of tragedy, i wish not only in moments of tragedy but at least in moments of tragedy in our country we are able to express and we do so very publicly faith and religion. the faith of the president. the faith of some of the military men and women. the reason why we do that unashamebly we talk of hope, there is no hope if this is no eternal life and everyone recognizes they trying to give home to the families.
