Democratic and Republican presidential candidates, John McCain and Barack Obama plan to visit Ground Zero together on Sept. 11.
According to a joint statement issued by the senators:
"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."
This will be the first time the presidential contenders appear together since their nominations.
"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 two will come together at the anniversary commemoration taking place at Ground Zero, site of the former World Trade towers.
Something tells me they won't be braiding each others' hair just yet.
