A year ago, the Sikhs at the Oak Creek, Wisconsin, temple, or gurdwara, were peacefully preparing meals for Sunday worship, but that peace was shattered when a 40-year-old neo- Nazi man walked in and began shooting anyone in his path. I stand here today to honor the six victims of this senseless massacre: Suveg Singh Khattra Satwant Singh Kaleka Ranjit Singh Sita Singh Paramjit Kaur Prakash Singh You will never be forgotten. Sikhs have been the targets of discrimination and violence. Just this week, the word ``terrorist'' was scrawled against the wall of a gurdwara in Riverside. In the memory of Oak Creek, we will recommit to fighting against intolerance wherever and whenever it occurs so that the lives of those six brave souls will not be lost in vain. ____________________
