9/11, the Candidates remember

At ground zero, in New York City, the candidates and family's of those killed 7 years ago today gathered to remember. The candidates walked down a ramp together to the site where the World Trade Center once stood, and threw flowers into a reflecting pool.

"Today marks the seventh anniversary of the day our world was broken," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in New York City. "It lives forever in our hearts and our history, a tragedy that unites us in a common memory and a common story ... the day that began like any other and ended as none ever has."

Yesterday McCain stoped in Pennsylvania. Speaking mostly of the then upcoming anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. McCain suggests we must "be as good an American as they were." Today Obama stated "Let us remember that the terrorists responsible for 9/11 are still at large, and must be brought to justice."
