    CANDLELIGHT VIGIAL FOR WISCONSIN VICTIMS AT SIKH TEMPLE

    By inder267  |  Posted August 8, 2012  |  PHILADELPHIA, PA, Pennsylvania
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     As people from all backgrounds and religions gathered at Love Park in Philadelphia, PA, to honor the victims of the Sikh temple shooting, inder267 says there was a lot of comfort and pride knowing everyone stood by one another. "I chose to go because as a Sikh, I wanted my voice to be heard. That no matter what differences we may have in the Sikh culture, we will always stand united," he says. "People that were walking around the area going about their business even stopped to take part in the vigil."
    - Anika3, CNN iReport producer

    OVER 200 PEOPLE SHOWED UP AT LOVE PARK IN CENTER CITY PHILADELPHIA ON AUGUST 07, 2012. PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT FAITHS STOOD TOGETHER TO REMEMBER THE SIKHS THAT WERE LOST ON AUGUST 05 2012.
