I visited the memorial when it first opened. I took the whole family (10+). We had a person in a wheelchair and strollers.
We started our journey from the Staten Island Ferry. I knew nothing about how to get from A to B. We used all public transportation to get around.
The people of NY were amazing. Whenever we needed guidance a kind person was always available.
As we got closer to the memorial, we had to the opportunity to stop and speak with different people, police officers etc.
My family would incircle them and listen and their stories. Very emotional. I think they needed to tell as much as we needed to listen.
I recommend the trip for everyone. Take the time to talk to the locals and it will quickly remind you we are all Americans. God Bless all those with broken hearts.

on 9/11, I was a serving member of the Medicine Hat Police Service. It hit us hard that day. I will always remember the Police officers, Firefighters, EMS and citizens. I will always remember and honor them.

This is the live radio broadcast from the morning show on 92KQRS, a well known Minneapolis radio station. I was listening live that morning. It is interesting to listen to it again now because it shows how it went from being an accident to a for-certain attack on our country. According to Tom Bernard, the show’s long-time host, this broadcast is now featured at the memorial in NYC. I get goose bumps listening to it.
