(CBS/AP) NEW YORK President Bush will mark the anniversary of the Sept. 11th attacks with visits to all three of the affected sites.

The president and Laura Bush will be in New York on Sept. 10th, for a wreath-laying ceremony at ground zero, followed by a prayer service at St. Paul's Chapel. After spending the night in New York, they will travel to Shanksville, Pa., and then to the Pentagon, the White House announced Friday.

The fifth anniversary remembrance at the World Trade Center site on Sept. 11th will feature those who lost husbands, wives and significant others reciting their loved ones' names.

The reading of the names has been the centerpiece of the annual commemoration. The first year, the list was read aloud by politicians, dignitaries and some relatives, followed by children in 2003, then parents and grandparents. Last year, brothers and sisters called out the 2,749 names.

The city will conclude the day of remembrance with the return of the "Tribute in Light," two powerful beams of light representing the fallen buildings. They will shine into the sky from Lower Manhattan at sundown.
