Tomorrow we will mark the first anniversary of the mass shooting that took place in my hometown of Aurora, Colorado, in the early morning hours of July 20 of last year. We must never forget the names of those who lost their lives in this senseless tragedy: Matt McQuinn, Micayla Medek, Jessica Ghawi, Gordon Cowden, Jesse Childress, John Larimer, Jonathan Blunk, Veronica Moser-Sullivan, Alex Sullivan, Alexander Teves, Rebecca Wingo, and AJ Boik. Aurora was devastated in the aftermath of the shooting, but we have come together as a community in a demonstration of both strength and resilience, and tomorrow we will come together again to remember those who were lost last year. ____________________
