TUCSON - It has been nearly three months since the day Congresswoman Giffords and 18 others were shot. The Tucson community has been healing from the tragedy since. Today, an angel will help with that healing.
A sculpture in the form of an angel will be unveiled at 5 pm at James D. Kriegh Park in Oro Valley. The sculpture, titled "Freedom's Steadfast Angel of Love," stands 9 feet 11 inches tall and is a replica of the statues at Ground Zero in New York, the pentagon and the Flight 93 Crash site.
It is the first angel to be made of wreckage from all three sites.
The youngest victim from the January 8th shootings is 9-year-old Christina Taylor Green. She was an aspiring baseball player and the only girl on her little league team. She used to play baseball at the James D. Kriegh Park with the Canyon Del Oro Little League. Green was born on September 11, 2001.
The angel will be dedicated at the park in Green's honor.
