http://www.cnn.com/2012/07/12/us/9-11-politicians-barred/index.html?hpt=hp_c1Politicians will be barred from speaking at this year's commemoration ceremony on the anniversary of the 2001 terror attacks, according to the National September 11 Memorial and Museum.
According to Joe Daniels, president of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, the foundation "is focused on honoring the victims and their families in a way free of politics, and this ensures that continues."
In a letter sent to victims' families Wednesday, Daniels said that the reading of victims' names by family members will be "the exclusive focus of the program" during this year's ceremony.
the familes should be the focus every year, not just this one. I'm glad we won't have to hear any potential stump speeches during a solemn event though.
