-Caveat Lector- No Politicians are allowed at this Memorial Service which lasts about an hour.
WATCH IT on FOXNEWS Channel Memorial Service Set for Ground Zero Sunday, October 28, 2001 NEW YORK — Under a crisp autumn sky, city officials put the finishing touches Sunday on what was sure to be an emotional memorial service at the war on terror's Ground Zero, or what used to be the World Trade Center. About 2,000 were expected at the site of the still-smoldering Twin Towers wreckage, and security promised to be tight. The 2 p.m. ceremony was limited to family members of the victims, of whom 4,000 have still not been accounted for. "For a large number of families, the idea of being at the site was very important to them," Mayor Rudolph Giuliani told a news conference at City Hall. "It was important to them to pray, and to feel a connection to the people they lost." The ceremony will feature readings by religious leaders and performances by Broadway musical great Andrew Lloyd Webber and opera stars Andrea Bocelli and Renee Fleming. After the service, each family will receive an urn filled with soil from the site, as promised by Giuliani earlier this month. Giuliani spoke about plans for the event after attending one of the 16 memorial services on Saturday for city firefighters, police officers and one Port Authority police officer. Around City Hall on Saturday, smoke from the fallen 110-story Twin Towers was heavier than usual as round-the-clock cleanup efforts continued. Not even a minor early morning earthquake that rattled the metropolitan area stopped work at the pile of debris in lower Manhattan. "I thought it was a train going by," one worker said. Work, however, did halt Saturday night to prepare for Sunday's memorial service, according to the Office of Emergency Management. It's only the second time work has stopped at the site. On Oct. 11 at 8:48 a.m. — one month to the minute after the first hijacked plane struck the Trade Center's north tower — a moment of silence was observed amid shattered concrete and twisted metal. The mayor said the city settled on the idea after learning that con men were peddling phony mementos from the Trade Center ruins to family members. Authorities have said that many of the victims' bodies may never be recovered from the 1.2 million tons of rubble.
