                         Friday, August 2, 2013

  Mr. RYAN of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, today, my colleagues and I 
introduced a House Resolution condemning the attack that occurred at 
the Oak Creek Sikh Gurdwara on August 5, 2012, and honoring the memory 
of those who died in the attack. We remember all those affected by the 
senseless act of violence that occurred one year ago in Oak Creek, 
Wisconsin. We call to mind the heroic efforts of Lieutenant Brian 
Murphy and all the medical and law-enforcement officials who responded 
to the scene. We also recognize the public servants who helped our 
community heal during this trying time.
  Since that fateful day, the people of Oak Creek have come together. 
They refuse to let violence shake their community. My thoughts and 
prayers are with the victims and their families, and I'm committed to 
continuing to help the community overcome this tragedy.
