The Democratic and Republican presidential nominees said they will appear together at the World Trade Center site on Thursday ''to honor the memory of each and every American who died'' in the 2001 attacks.

''All of us came together on 9/11 — not as Democrats or Republicans — but as Americans,'' they said. ''On Thursday, we will put aside politics and come together to renew that unity.''
