It was only fitting for the president to remember those heroes who prevented what could have been further bloodshed last Saturday at the tragedy in front of the Tucson Safeway store.
Here are his words:
"And our hearts are full of gratitude for those who saved others. We are grateful for Daniel Hernandez, a volunteer in Gabby's office who ran through the chaos to minister to his boss, tending to her wounds to keep her alive."
"We are grateful for the men who tackled who tackled the gunman as he stopped to reload."
"We are grateful for a petite 61 year-old, Patricia Maisch, who wrestled away the killer's ammunition, undoubtedly saving some lives."
"And we are grateful for the doctors and nurses and emergency medics who worked wonders to heal those who'd been hurt."
"These men and women remind us that heroism is found not only on the fields of battle. They remind us that heroism does not require special training or physical strength. Heroism is here, all around us, in the hearts of so many of our fellow citizens, just waiting to be summoned as it was on Saturday morning.."
Thank you, Mr. President for your inspirational words in these dark days where so many of us are in shock!
