Fort Hood Police Officers to Join First Lady At State of the Union Address

Fox News has learned that two Ft. Hood police officers will be the First Lady’s guests will be at Wednesday night’s State of the Union address.

Sgts. Kimberly Munley and Mark Todd will join Mrs. Obama in her box overlooking the House floor.  It is a long standing tradition for the First Lady to invite special guests to sit with her during a State of the Union address.

The two police officers were responsible for stopping the November 2009 attack at Fort Hood, Texas, for which Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan is accused of killing 13 people.

In addition to Munley and Todd, there will be four other military related guests seated with the First Lady.   They will include a a recently retired Iraq veteran who was shot in the face, recovered and is now working at the Department of Transportation in Colorado;  an Army soldier recently back from Iraq;  and two National Guard spouses (one of whom is a Marine veteran herself and is finishing her education under the Montgomery GI Bill.)

Stay tuned to Fox News and Row 2, Seat 4 for more details.  We’ll be getting Mrs. Obama’s full guest list Wednesday morning.
