JUST AN ORDINARY SUNDAY
(Ms. FRANKEL of Florida asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. FRANKEL of Florida. Mr. Speaker, it was just another Sunday in
December 2006 in West Palm Beach, Florida. Greg Key was in church, with
the pastor delivering a sermon--a little sweat on his brow. It was just
another Sunday when Greg's cell phone buzzed. He stepped out for a call
that changed his life.
The voice on the other end told him that his 19-year-old daughter--
the shining light of his life--had been gunned down as the innocent
victim of a drive-by shooting.
On this ordinary Sunday, like on every other day of the year, 91
families got devastating news that a loved one had been killed by a
firearm. Like I said, Mr. Speaker, it was just an ordinary Sunday.
