It is a time of hope and promise, but in the middle of a time of great economic challenge for Arizona, for Florida, and for all of America. But Gabby Giffords has an optimistic eye to the future. She believes that working together we can solve many of the challenges before us. And in her honor we must recommit to doing so. From the stories of the victims and the heroes in Tucson, it is obvious that it is a community composed of remarkable individuals. And it may explain why the Tucson area has sent such a remarkable public servant to represent them.
