      HONORING THE VICTIMS OF THE JANUARY 8, 2011 TUCSON SHOOTING

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. MARTHA McSALLY

                               of arizona

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 8, 2015

  Ms. McSALLY. Mr. Speaker, four years ago, our community was shaken to 
its core by an act of senseless violence that took the lives of six of 
our own and wounded thirteen others. They were our friends, neighbors, 
and loved ones. Our community still carries the enduring pain of their 
loss but also the bright recollection of their lives and memories.
  We remember the victims and what they came to do that day: speak with 
their elected representative. We remember the selfless acts of bravery 
and love by those who put themselves in harm's way, even giving their 
own lives to save others. We remember how the city of Tucson came 
together, in grief and consolation, to move forward with a spirit of 
compassion and strength that was felt across the nation.
  Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the families and loved 
ones of those lost or wounded, who carry the pain of what happened on 
that quiet Saturday each and every day. We are inspired by their 
courage; made stronger by their strength.
  Today, as the bells ring out from the University of Arizona and in 
the moments of silence that follow, our community, united and strong, 
proclaims with one voice: we will never forget those we lost.
