Christina Taylor Green was born on September eleventh, two thousand one, the day when terrorists attacked the United States.

A book published the following year, "Faces of Hope," showed fifty babies born that day, one from each state. One was Christina.

Last Saturday, the nine-year-old girl was among six people killed by a gunman at a political event in Tucson, Arizona. She was the youngest victim, and the first to be buried. On Thursday, a flag recovered from the World Trade Center in New York flew outside the church where her funeral took place.
