Speaker of the House John Boehner and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi sent out an e-mail Monday regarding “Signing of the Book of Well Wishes & Book of Condolences,” a tribute event for Ariz. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and other victims of Saturday’s shooting in Tucson.
“Please join us in remembering the victims and sending well wishes to Rep. Giffords and those in recovery,” the invitation states. “As President Barack Obama expressed, this is ‘a time for us to come together as a nation in prayer or reflection, keeping the victims and their families closely at heart.'”
Those interested will be provided the opportunity to remember the victims of the tragedy and wish a speedy recovery for those still fighting for their lives in the respective books. The books will be available for comments in the Cannon Rotunda from Monday until the end of the week.
Members, officers, staff and visitors are all welcome to participate.
