Two years ago, our hearts broke as 17 lives were senselessly stolen. 17 more were injured and are still learning to live with their wounds. Others have wounds that are invisible but run deep, and in the months to come we lost 2 more lives. We remember them, too. 
Our work to prevent gun violence is for them & in their honor. Regardless of your politics or opinion on the work we do, we all can agree that their lives were beautiful, infinitely valued, & were taken from the world far too soon.
The trauma & pain did not end on 2/14/18 – it is felt today by our whole community. It is felt every time a headline of another death pops up on our news feed. Our lives are forever changed. Our heartbreak will never go away. This is a difficult week for MSD Eagles everywhere.
We honor the 17 every day & wish the entire MSD community peace & strength during this difficult time. #MSDStrong
