10 years ago today, a man tried to assassinate my wife, @GabbyGiffords, and in the process killed 6 people and injured 12 others. This anniversary is always difficult for our family, but today's feels different after the violence on Capitol Hill this week.
This time, it was Gabby who received the call that I might be the one in danger, and the experience sent both of us back to January 8, 2011 — the day Gabby was shot and forced to fight for her life. At a time when many would have given up, Gabby pushed forward and persevered.
I'll never stop being inspired by my wife. Her commitment to service is remarkable. Even after being shot in the head, she has never wavered in her commitment to serve her community and fight for what’s right.
Gabby knows that when we serve each other and work together, our community thrives. The January 8th shooting robbed our community of 6 family members, friends, and loved ones. And Tucson showed us how resilient we are and that we would not be defined by the horrific act that day.
