 Funerals are planned across the country for several of the 13 people killed in the Fort Hood shooting rampage.

KIEL, WISCONSIN (AP) -- Services are being held Saturday for at least six of the victims in cities ranging from San Diego to the 3,500-resident town of Kiel, Wisconsin.

Hundreds packed the Kiel High School gymnasium Friday for a visitation for Staff Sgt. Amy Krueger. She was set to deploy to Afghanistan in December and said before the shooting she was determined to catch Osama bin Laden.

The 29-year-old woman was remembered for taking such pride in her military service that she always wore an Army hat or shirt around town and received a tattoo shortly before leaving for Fort Hood.

With a tattered flag in the background, the tattoo read: "All gave some. Some gave all. Sacrifice."
