I learned about this name last week following what seems to have been an Islamic terrorist attack at Fort Hood, Texas, and his name came to mind again on this Veterans Day.

Colonel (Dr.) Steven E. Braverman appeared at a Fort Hood press conference last week following the cowardly murder of thirteen individuals.

Col. Braverman was identified as the Hospital Commander at Fort Hood. In particular, he is in command of Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center there.

I do not believe that it is a coincidence that someone with the surname “Braverman” is in the U.S. Army.

Names mean things.

And thank you, Col. Braverman, for your service.
