Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in the head in an assassination attempt in Tucson in January, made an heroic return to the House of Representatives tonight to cast her vote for the Debt Ceiling bill.
It was a dramatic moment, one of the few where there was bipartisan cheering and applauding, and there was not a dry eye in the chamber or by those watching at home, including the author.
Gabrielle Giffords is a true profile in courage, a miracle case of how a person shot in the head, under some circumstances, can recover and function even just seven months after the tragic event.
IF only the unity she brought to the House of Representatives briefly could carry over, but of course, that sadly is NOT going to happen!
