August 10th, 2012, at a high school in suburban Milwaukee, thousands of mourners gathered to pay their final respects to the six victims of the August 5th mass shooting at the Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. The service included prayers, hymns, and speakers including representatives of the victims' families and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.
