9/11 Memorial

“It’s powerful. You grow up your entire life, you learn about it in school and people tell you about it, but to really see and be here at ground zero, it’s really powerful – going through the museum, seeing the quotes from people ranging from the first responders and the rescuers. It’s a once in a lifetime experience and I’m really glad we got to come here and see it.”

“We went down to the lower part of the memorial and there was a guy in there who was a fire chief and first responder. He was talking to a group of people and pointing out pictures of people that were in his unit and said: ‘I sent those people into the fire.’ It was insane and powerful. He was there and we were looking at the pictures with him. It really hit me.”

“It was a pretty crazy experience. It’s kind of tough to wrap your mind around the fact that people were capable of doing such damage to our country.”

“It’s an awesome experience, being from the other side of the country and hearing about it happening and being able to come and see it in real life.”
