Christina Green's family to attend State of the Union
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - The White House issued a statement Monday announcing that the family of Christina Taylor Green, 9, who was killed in the Jan. 8 mass shooting here, will sit with the First Lady as President Obama addresses the nation Tuesday night.

University Medical Center Trauma Chief Dr. Peter Rhee and and Daniel Hernandez, an intern in Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords' office, were also invited to sit with the First Lady.

Here is what the White House said about the Greens:

"John and Roxanna are the parents of eleven-year-old Dallas and the late Christina Taylor, the nine-year-old girl killed when a gunman opened fire on Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson earlier this month.

"At just nine-years-old, Christina Taylor already had big plans to one day serve her country. Christina Taylor was born on 9/11 and had used her birth date as a source of inspiration during her short life.

1. Wonder if Rep. Joe Wilson will yell at them?
Guessing that some Rethug will pull something, but then three Supreme Court justices already plan to do that, haven't they?

2. That's wonderful. It must mean so much to them that the entire country is
grieving with them. :(
