   I'm down with a memorial for Christina Green, but WTH has it got to do with the Pentagon, the World Trade Center, or 9-11? It's connecting her birth to a tragedy, when it was her death that was the tragedy. We should memorialize her, but celebrate her young life. I think the materials used are in very poor taste in that regard. What were they thinking?

     I'm mystified why artifacts from the tragedy of 9/11 were used as a memorial for this child. She was a victim of a crime committed by a deranged killer. Her death was a horrible tragedy but it is being exploited.

   this is ridiculous! and histrionic
   a statue for our men and women in combat yes........for this NO.
   how many people are victims of crime in the US? should we have a statue for each one.
   how about a statue for stacey peterson.......or many others murdered, disappeared, etc......

   this is about respect for the young victim of the shooting, not you're religious banter and bashing and whatever,

   Just take it as it is – respect for her death.

   I am sorry so many were offended by my former post. Whenever an innocent young one is gone it hurts us all. Especially the poor family. But please don't hate on me just because of my belief. There are no angels. No heaven and no St Peter. Once we die. We rot. Sorry but I am a realist.

   Really? Millions of children are killed or injured in shootings. Why are they not being honored. So what she was born on 9/11. And to use steal from another US created diaster is even more disgusting! Then to use an angel like statue! Birds are not winged the way we think of an angel. Plus we are to heavy to fly! This is so disgusting.

   Wake up America!

   I can't believe all the fuss over this memorial for this little girl. I said it before: leave this family alone! God, you people are insensitive! So they put an angel up as her memorial: so what? Would it have made you feel better to put up Spongebob Squarepants as a memorial? Then everybody would be saying "why not an angel?" (2xcept the self-absorbed atheists, who would have wanted their own character up there!)
   And how do you know there are *not* memorials for the others? Memorials take many forms...this one just happened to be in the news because it was a nation-wide story and the girl was so young. Just let it be, people...I fail to see how an angel memorial for a nine-year-old is jamming religion down anyone's throat, but it seems to me that the zealot atheists are just as rabid as the zealot religious types. Enough already!!!!!
