                      HONORING THE TUCSON VICTIMS

  (Ms. McSALLY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. McSALLY. Mr. Speaker, 4 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 13 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. We are made stronger by their strength.
  Today, as the bells rang out from the University of Arizona and 
during that moment of silence that followed, our community, united and 
strong, proclaimed with one voice that we will never forget those we 
lost: Christina-Taylor Green, Dorothy Morris, Judge John Roll, Phyllis 
Schneck, Dorwan Stoddard, and Gabriel ``Gabe'' Zimmerman.
