NYC World Trade Center Visit Depending on your age, you probably have memories of where you were and what you were doing on the morning of 9/11/2001.?However, those memories, as is only natural, have probably faded, unless maybe you were actually there that day. I had an opportunity to visit the 9/11 museum last weekend in NYC.?And my memoires had in fact faded. ?The museum resurrected those memories and all that that event entailed: how individuals responded – whether first responders, people in the buildings, the passengers and crew who made sure flight 93 did not reach its target – the physical destruction and deaths, and so much more.?It was so powerful.?It is a remarkable remembrance of a terrible time and loss, and a testament to what can be the best (and worst) aspects of humankind.?And sadly, the world continues to suffer from some of the worst nature of humankind. However, I strongly encourage everyone who has the opportunity to visit the 9/11 museum, but have not yet done so, to make the visit.?Whether you have memories of that day or not.?It is well worth it. https://lnkd.in/ef6qWmGA https://lnkd.in/ehYQx_yr?(Scroll down for video - a short video w images and voices of the day) https://lnkd.in/euw2fJzN?(History Channel reviews the days chronology and events)
