Former Congresswoman Gabrielle Gifford, D-Ariz., miraculously survived a close-range head shot during an assassination attempt in 2011. As she rehabbed, Navy officials informed her that they would be naming a littoral combat ship in her honor.
Saturday, the Navy’s combat ship Gabrielle Giffords will be commissioned at Galveston’s Pier 21, in Texas, said the Houston Chronicle.
