Tucson Memorial
This will be tough to watch without crying.

A Native American is giving the opening blessing to a great ovation.
"I give thanks for this perfect day. Miracle will follow miracle and wonders will never cease."

That was really nice.

The President sings along with the national anthem.

Tucson is a beautiful city with many wonderful people. I'm glad this memorial will show that.

Noticed that Napolitano is there. She was the governor, wasn't she?

The memorial is truly a celebration of their lives. I think it's wonderful. There is something soothing about the President's voice.

Ah, the young guy who died was engaged and planned to get married next year. Very sad.

They let the President announced she opened her eyes.

A moving and powerful tribute by the President. I was both inspired and in tears by his tribute to all who were wounded and those who died, especially his entreaty to all of us to live up to Christina's expectations.

I'm choked with emotion just reading this thread and I haven't seen the Memorial yet. Thanks everybody for your eloquent summary.

I was fine until the puddle jumping line and then I just lost it. My heart goes out to those parents. Beautiful speech.
