Tucson Shooting Heros, Victim's Family Expected at State of the Union

The First Lady typically hosts a few guests to the President's State of the Union speech in what is called the "First Lady's Box."

We've learned several guests connected the Tucson shooting tragedy will be in the box tomorrow night. Guests include Daniel Hernandez, the intern for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, credited with saving the Congresswoman's life. Also, the family of Christina Taylor Green, the 9-year-old little girl who was killed in the shooting. And Dr. Peter Rhee from the hospital where Rep. Giffords and several victims were treated. Dr. Rhee took the President around the hospital in Tucson when he visited a little more than a week ago.

"Their presence and the presence of those that the President has met with and talked with throughout his travels around the country in the past year will be who will make up the box, " Robert Gibbs said.

We're expecting a longer list of more guests, soon. I'll let you know who's on that list when I get it.

UPDATE:  The entire guest list is online.  Check it out.
