1 of 1Full SizeTERRE HAUTE, Indiana (Reuters) - Presidential nominees John McCain and Barack Obama will appear together on Sept. 11 in New York at the site where the World Trade Center collapsed after being hit by hijacked planes in 2001.

"All of us came together on 9/11 -- not as Democrats or Republicans -- but as Americans. In smoke-filled corridors and on the steps of the Capitol; at blood banks and at vigils -- we were united as one American family," the two senators said in a joint statement issued on Saturday.

"On Thursday, we will put aside politics and come together to renew that unity, to honor the memory of each and every American who died, and to grieve with the families and friends who lost loved ones."

The event will mark the first time McCain, the Republican nominee, and Obama, the Democratic one, will appear together since they were nominated to run in the November 4 presidential election.

The two have rarely appeared together during the campaign. McCain had challenged Obama to a series of town hall meetings but the details could not be worked out and they were never held.

The two briefly were on the same stage at Saddleback Church in California last month but the moment lasted just long enough for a few pictures to be taken.

The two men will join on Thursday in an anniversary commemoration at Ground Zero, the site where the World Trade towers once stood.

Nearly 3,000 people died on Sept. 11 in hijacked airplanes that were crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and in an Pennsylvania field.

"We will also give thanks for the firefighters, police and emergency responders who set a heroic example of selfless service, and for the men and women who serve today in defense of the freedom and security that came under attack in New York City, at the Pentagon, and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania," the statement said.

Sorry you 2 don't understand my original post. I was not speaking of either politically. I am not a McCain fan & only a moron could be an O'bama fan I am in reference to McCain being a War Hero & despite his political record which I don't think is the best he is a war hero.

Obama is a zero politically & in every way that is relevant to me he is a zero.

Sorry I had to explain it.

Now I need to go see some customers, unlike you I work.

It used to make me sick to see billy bob klinton laying a wreath at the memorials on veterans day. I feel the same about osama at ground zero.
NOMOSENDERO. As you just saw there are some here that everything has to be explained to, even then, they just don't get it. POWDERMAN.  ;) ;)

Bad move for MCain, IMHO. You should never engage an opponent in his strongest area. 
bho can read a teleprompter better than anyone I have seen. 
Funny they couldn't work it out to engage in a town hall meeting.
