Arizona Vigil: Giffords Marks Anniversary Of Tucson Shooting

One year after a tragic shooting that killed six people and critically wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, the Arizona congresswoman led a crowd at the University of Arizona in the Pledge of Allegiance. Giffords has made a remarkable recovery since the shooting. President Obama gave her a call to offer his support ahead of the evening's candlelight vigil. Giffords' husband, Mark Kelly, was there by her side and her district director, Ron Barber, who was also wounded in the shooting, was the event's master of ceremonies.

2. Just look at that determination.

Her right arm is injured, but her left arm makes sure to hold it in place so she can give the Pledge properly.

3. I am truly amazed at her recovery...

Her very existence is an act of patriotism.
