Gabby Giffords Serves Thanksgiving Dinner To Troops
Posted on Nov 24, 2011 @ 10:30AM
Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords took a day off from her rehabilitation therapy to help serve Thanksgiving dinner to service members and retirees at a base in her hometown of Tucson.
Giffords and her former astronaut husband Mark Kelly dished out hundreds of meals at the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base Thursday.
She wore a baseball cap and an apron with her nickname of "Gabby" sewn on the front.

Giffords used only her left hand as she served. Her right side is still impaired because of the brain injury she suffered when she was shot in the head in January. But nothing could get in the way of her enthusiasm for the event, and she never stopped smiling.
"She's such an inspiration and her story is so inspirational, it really made me proud, Airman 1st Class Millie Gray told AP. "I felt very proud and very humble."

So, now that we all know EVERYTHING this woman has gone through...where are the pictures, videos, interviews, updates, etc... on the other victims? What were the other victims doing for Thanksgiving? Or, would this be too much to ask?

jlb32, good try but you DON'T see me all over this message board because I am almost never on it. Nor do I feel the need to flier my point of view about a sick politician 500 times on a gossip site.

Shes a politician and this is nothing more than a photo-op. Really care about "the people"? Stop hanging on to a job that you were elected to and can no longer perform and stop acting like every other self-centered politician.

I applaud her recovery, however, I didn't like what she stood for before the attack. Why would I like her now? How self-centered is clinging to an office she can no longer effectively represent? How about thinking of others and resign?

ugggh, sooo sick of hearing about this woman. She represented and defended every evil issue under the sun and now is hailed as some kind of hero? YES, give her damn seat away already. sheeeesh!

I am so happy to say that I am always 100 percent in disagreement with every statement you make. Gabby is an amazing woman who is such an inspiration. I love hearing about her and her progress and hope to hear much, much more.

I understand the conflict people are having with Giffords keeping her seat. Tough situation, especially in lieu of the fact she's making an amazing recovery. Of course, she's gotten the best medical care, not normally offered the average American.

Get a grip amagod ,,, a person is entitled to a viewpoint just as you are. Theres not such a thing as 'stalking' an article. It's not a person. It's an article, dude. It's just a story w/ a picture. Other sites out there allow more space for posting

Making 50 identical comments with the exact same viewpoint is stalkerish. Grip gotten, Mark-o.

To reiterate, no one is criticizing her accomplishments, before Jan. 8th or after Jan. 8th. She is not suited to the job anymore. It's sad, but that's how it is. She needs to take care of herself and let the seat go. Simple. End of discussion.
