Gabrielle Giffords

Gabrielle Giffords, the US Congresswoman who was shot in the head in January, has marked another milestone in her recovery by helping to serve Thanksgiving dinner to troops at a military base in Arizona.

She and her husband, retired Navy captain Mark Kelly, joined approximately 400 airmen, military retirees and their families at the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson.

This is the congresswoman's third trip back to Tucson since she was shot in the head at a political event at a shopping centre on January 8. Six others were killed in the shooting spree.
