Milwaukee Mom Worried About Son at Ft. Hood
MILWAUKEE - Families all across America are worried about their loved ones stationed at Ft. Hood. That's true for Milwaukee mom Janet Moslavac, whose son Daniel Kachelmeier is an Army Reservist stationed at Ft. Hood. For her, only one thing mattered... getting the call that her son wasn't hurt in the mass shooting.
"He called and he said 'I'm OK, I wasn't one that got hit,'" Moslavac said.
Daniel Kachelmeier is an Army Reservist from Milwaukee who was assisting the Madison based 467th Medical Detachment Unit at Fort Hood. Members of the 467th specialize in combat stress control. They are specially trained in treating soldiers with signs of depression, combat fatigue, and post traumatic stress disorder.
They're at Fort Hood helping soldiers prepare to deploy for Iraq. Kachelmeier was working with them, but in a twist of fate wasn't there at the time of the shooting.
"He would have been right there but he was off today, so because he was off he wasn't there otherwise he would have been right in with the guys who got injured and killed," Moslavac said.
When TMJ4 spoke with Daniel, he was at a hotel outside the base, still stunned by what happened. But he wants everyone to know, he's OK.
Sources tell TODAY'S TMJ4 that two members of the 467th were shot during the mass shooting, but the 467th will not confirm that.
