Representative Gabrielle Giffords will be released from hospital care within the month. Pictures were recently released of Giffords seeing her husband off to space at a NASA launch in May. What an incredible story of strength. Giffords Congressional seat is still reserved for her, and once she is fully released from the hospital more news will be released regarding the status of her recovery. Currently, it has been reported that she has trouble communicating verbally, however, she can by all means string coherent sentences together.

Jared Lee Loughner pleaded “not guilty” to the obvious charges before him. Deemed incompetent to stand trial, he will more than likely never pay for his crimes and he will most definitely cause all of us taxpayers thousands of dollars a year for the rest of his life. He is an expensive and highly disappointing example of loopholes in our legal system. With that being said, Gabrielle Giffords’ story and survival is an absolutely amazing tale of human resilience and American fortitude.

1,231.9 miles to go.
