The Common Good hosted a special luncheon event with astronaut Mark Kelly, husband of former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords who was seriously wounded in a gun attack two years ago in Arizona.
Mark discussed gun safety and gun violence and “Americans for Responsible Solutions”, which seeks to “prevent gun violence and protect responsible gun ownership.”
Mark Kelly, husband of former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, is a retired astronaut and US Navy Captain with 6,000 flight hours in more than 50 different aircraft, 375 aircraft carrier landings, 39 combat missions and more than 50 days in space. As a Naval Aviator, Kelly flew combat missions during the Gulf War. He received initial training on the A-6E Intruder attack aircraft. He was then assigned to Attack Squadron 115 (VA-115) in Atsugi, Japan, and made two deployments to the Persian Gulf on the aircraft carrier USS Midway, flying 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm.
