Memorial Held To Mark Caylee Anthony's Birthday

ORLANDO (CBS4) – More than one people, including George and Cindy Anthony, gathered near the spot where Caylee Anthony's remains were found in December 2008 to commemorate what would have been her sixth birthday.

Bring Kids Home, a nonprofit group that helps missing and abused children, wants to build a memorial at the site. The project, set to be designed by artist Jefre, will need approval from the county.

"It's just a great tribute to Caylee, it's a great tribute to her. Other children got to come home too and that's what should be concentrating on.  We know where caylee is," said George Anthony.

Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, was acquitted of a murder charge last month in her daughter's death. Her defense team claimed the toddler drowned in the family's pool in June 2008. Caylee was two years old when she died.
