No State Dept Memorial Services on 9/11 for Benghazi Victims

On 9/11, there were of course, memorial services held at the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon in Washington, and at the Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. So how did the State Department honor the four Americans killed in Benghazi on 9/11/ 2012? It didn't honor them, it didn't eulogize them, it ignored them. John Kerry was good enough to mention the fallen men in an“annual all-department email to commemorate the day.” That was the sum total of the department's disgraceful and "unbelievably small, limited kind of effort" to honor the dead and console their families.
About 20 staffers took part in an informal ceremony held in the lobby of State Department headquarters at a memorial plaque bearing the names of Stevens, Smith, and other foreign service officers who have lost their lives while on duty. The Department said no formal ceremony was planned because the Benghazi raid has become politicized and then proceeded to politicize it further.
“We were focused on two things as the anniversary approached: honoring those we lost, and making sure we take steps to implement the ARB’s recommendations to make our people safe so this doesn't’t happen again,” said State Department spokesman Alec Gerlach. “We wish that the House Oversight Committee were focused on the same things.”
Classy! It should come as a surprise to no one that Tyrone Wood's body was allowed remain on the airport tarmac for 3 hours.
