Giffords' Husband Watches SOTU from Hospital Room
CBS News reports:
Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' office released a photo on Tuesday night of Mark Kelly, Giffords' husband, watching President Obama's State of the Union address with her in a hospital room in Houston.
Mr. Obama paid tribute to Rep. Giffords in the beginning of his remarks on Tuesday, and urged Americans to let the recent tragedy in Tucson stand as a reminder that "each of us is a part of something greater - something more consequential than party or political preference."
Members of Congress and other political leaders are wearing black and white ribbons to the speech in honor of the Democratic Arizona congresswoman, who was critically injured in a shooting earlier this month.
"The black/white ribbon has been a symbol of unity and hope for the entire Tucson community in the wake of this event," read a letter by Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) and Mike McCaul (R-Texas), who urged their fellow State of the Union attendees to wear a ribbon.
