During his speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention, Mitt Romney began by remembering four Colorado shooting victims who served in the United States military.

Romney mentioned them by name: Jonathan Blunk, a 26-year-old Navy veteran; Jesse Childress, a 29-year-old member of the Air Force; John Larimer, a 27-year-old member of the Navy; and Rebecca Wingo, a 32-year-old Air Force veteran.

“All Americans are grateful for their service and deeply saddened by their deaths.  We mourn them and we will remember them,” Romney said.
