Today I read President Obama honored the Navy Yard shooting deaths by calling for more gun control. If I were President I would choose to honor them by remembering the joy of peoples lives instead of playing politics with their deaths. KATHY GAARDE, 62. mother of two loved animals and nature, and she liked to help count bluebirds for a local wildlife refuge in her spare time GERALD L. READ, 58. was devoted to his job as a project manager in information assurance at the Navy Yard and also to animals. He had four dogs, three labs and an irish setter. He balance his life with work and family. SYLVIA FRASIER, 53. the Waldorf, Maryland, resident came from a large religious family.

KENNETH BERNARD PROCTOR, 46, newly divorced, Proctor had two sons - 15-year-old Kendull, who attends Thomas Stone High School in Waldorf, Maryland, and Kenneth Jr., 17, who graduated high school in May and joined the U.S. Army. MARTIN BODROG, 54, the retired U.S. Naval officer who lived in Annandale, Virginia, never seemed to slow down. Even on cold winter days, Bodrog could be found outside in shorts and his trademark Boston Bruins jersey, walking his dog and helping shovel all the driveways of his elderly neighbors. ARTHUR DANIELS, 51, the grandfather of nine, who lived in Southeast Washington, moved and installed office furniture in federal government buildings. VISHNU PANDIT, 61, grew up in Mumbai, India, attended a Calcutta university and moved to the United States in the mid-1970s. Pandit often gave money to panhandlers, his friend said. "He would always reach into his pocket. He wanted to share what he had, what God had given him." MICHAEL ARNOLD, 59, who lived in Lorton, Virginia, was a Navy veteran. He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy and served for 29 years before retiring as a captain last year. He recently joined a government consulting firm.
