Words seem so powerless in times like this--unable to fully express the sadness of the tragedy in Arizona. My heart goes out to the families of the victims shot while attending Representative Gabrielle Gifford's meet-and-greet in her Tucson neighborhood. And I pray for those still fighting for their lives.
President Obama is calling for a nationwide moment of silence at 11 a.m. eastern standard time on Monday. According to NYTimes.com, Obama says "It will be a time for us to come together as a nation in prayer or reflection, keeping the victims and their families closely at heart."
