NEVER FORGET: Exactly twelve years ago, Pima County was changed forever when then U.S. Representative Gabby Giffords and 18 others were shot during a "Congress on Your Corner" event at a Safeway in Casa Adobes.

Today, the Embrace memorial stands strong at the civic center of Pima County as a tribute of remembrance and hope.

We will never forget the six people who tragically lost their lives that day - Christina-Taylor Green, Dorothy "Dot" Morris, John Roll, Phyllis Schneck, Dorwan Stoddard and Gabriel "Gabe" Zimmerman.

Today, we also remember those who were wounded but survived the shooting - Bill Badger, Ron Barber, Ken Dorushka, James Eric Fuller, Randy Gardner, Gabrielle Giffords, Suzi Hileman, George Morris, Mary Reed, Pam Simon, Mavanell Stoddard, Jim Tucker and Kenneth Veeder.
