      Dear Taras,

      I'm a Republican, and I went to that Safeway parking lot in Tucson last January to tell Congresswoman Giffords that I disagreed with her position on health care. I never could have imagined the nightmare that followed.

      Six people were killed and 13 more were shot, including Rep. Gabby Giffords and me. My injuries have healed, but my heart still hurts at the memory of nine-year-old Christina Taylor-Green -- she had her whole life ahead of her before she was brutally murdered.

      Today marks one year since the shooting. Please take a minute to watch this video of a few of us who were lucky to survive that day and join us in remembering the friends, family and neighbors we lost. 



      One thing that helped me cope this past year was seeing our nation come together to support survivors and families that lost loved ones. And that’s what I hope happens again today.

      Join me in honoring those we lost in Tucson and anyone who has been devastated by gun violence. Share a message or a prayer with survivors, attend a vigil if there’s one near you or just share a moment of silence with your family:

      Whatever you do, I want to thank you for standing with all of us in Tucson and for honoring everyone affected by gun violence.

      Sincerely,
      Colonel Bill Badger 
      Tucson Survivor
