Stepping for the first time into the role of national consoler, President Barack Obama plans to honor the 13 people slain in a shooting rampage here by remembering what they left behind, offering personal stories about the lives they touched and the service they provided to their country. Obama still was working on his speech as he flew to Texas on Tuesday for a memorial service five days after the shooting that left 13 dead and 29 wounded on the bustling Army post. Military families and civilians alike gathered for the ceremony, some wearing red, white and blue ribbons in honor of those slain.
