We request the Fort Hood Deployment Building be named for Elizabeth Laird - the Hug Lady. Elizabeth Laird dedicated her life to hugging the service members on their arrival and their departure from Fort Hood. She is estimated to have hugged 500,000 servicemen/women since 2003. She should be honored by the military and her country for her volunteer work, making soldiers feel someone cares. Please sign the petition to honor Elizabeth Laird.

She deserves it. It will be a great way to honor her. I received hugs from her and saw her dedication to the soldiers
As an Army mom it was nice to know that my son would leave and arrive with a hug, even if wasn't mine! This IS the right thing to do!!!
Plz rename this center in honor of her
I received many hugs from her as I deployed and when I returned
My husband had the pleasure to receive many hugs from her. A nice way to remember her
It needs to be named after her she was a beautiful women.

i believe she had a big impact on a lot of service members by reassuring they weren't alone and reviving a hug made me feel tht way, we should forget what this lady did for us!
