This weekend, Milwaukee, WI, will host one of its biggest memorials ever in honor of the victims of last Sunday's Sikh Temple shooting. Organizers have extended a planned wake and visitation two additional hours to accommodate thousands of expected mourners. National and state dignitaries will also be in attendance, from U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and Rep. Paul Ryan. After the wake, the temple will host a traditional Sikh remembrance of the victims at the site of the shooting.
