OAK CREEK - The Sikh community has released a new video this morning following the horrific tragedy at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in Oak Creek earlier this month.

The video is fresh, just released a couple of hours ago.  It's called "we are Sikhs, a poem from the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin"

In it, there's a message from Sikh temple members and supporters.

It includes the 9-1-1 call from the temple President who was killed, Satwant Singh Kaleka.  You hear him pleading with operators to get to the shooting.  The video also shows the bullet hole that still remains in the wall after the shooting.

The biggest message from in the video is people, including children, saying "this is our country, this is our blood, this is our dream."

One of the victims from the temple shooting massacre is still in a coma.  Punjab Singh's family says they are still holding out hope.  Singh and 8 others were shot at the temple on August 5th.
