MOUNTAIN CITY, Tenn. (AP) -- Relatives of a Tennessee soldier who was killed in the shooting spree at Fort Hood say he was a loving family member who exemplified the Army's values.
Army Spc. Frederick Greene of Mountain City, Tenn., was among 13 people killed when an Army psychiatrist allegedly opened fire on fellow soldiers at the Army post in Texas last week.
Greene's family released a statement Sunday calling the 29-year-old soldier a loving son, husband and father. They say he exemplified the Army's values of loyalty, duty, selfless service, honor and courage.
They say his fellow soldiers told them of his reputation as a "quiet professional" who never complained and volunteered when needed.
His family says it is grateful for the thoughts and prayers of others.
