As we continue to lift the Sikh community in prayer, I encourage all Americans to honor the lives of those who were lost. May we all recommit ourselves to ending this nonsensical violence.
Contact: Staci Cox (202) 225- 4572 Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Gwen Moore (WI-4) released this statement in recognition of the six victims who lost their lives during the Sikh Temple shooting that occurred one year ago today. “On August 5, 2012, we stood in horror as six innocent lives were tragically taken in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. Families were broken and America was shaken. “Although this day will be forever stained in American history, violence does not define us or our resolve to create a peaceful existence. While we recall the pain this tragedy caused, we also remember a nation standing up in solidarity. Through our heartbreak, we learned that we are strongest when we embody our great American spirit to rise above our differences and support one another. “As we continue to lift the Sikh community in prayer, I encourage all Americans to honor the lives of those who were lost. May we all recommit ourselves to ending this nonsensical violence.” Rep. Moore recently cosponsored a resolution recognizing the one-year anniversary of the Sikh Temple shooting. ### For “Moore” News Updates Follow Gwen Moore on Twitter @RepGwenMoore and Like Gwen Moore on Facebook
