This specific memorial is located in Kennewick, WA (just for clarification). The memorial is a salvaged piece from the original WTC site. Highly recommend everyone passing through to stop here for a moment.
Great to see a piece of history in the west. Thanks to the people who made this possible. We Americans should never forget the past or it will repeat.
The memorial exceeded our expectations. This is must see place. Well done, well organized for a large crowd. "Never forget" is the most often repeated words here. As the witnessed of this tragedy, we were overwhelmed with the emotions. People move slowly and quietly through the exposition. There is nothing really to say, just move from hall to hall...It's almost hard to believe this horror really took place in our Great Country. The museum is the great tribute to the victims, their families and all people of New York.
It is a reminder of what can happen when those who hate our country decide to take their hate out on us. So sad, so very sad. But it is also a reminder of just how great our country is, in how we all pulled together in such a horrid crisis.
This 9/11 memorial is in the city of Kennewick, wa. It is built from the salvaged portion of the actual WTC. Informative and a must watch. Would recommend anyone visiting the city to have a look.
This is a small site honoring 9/11 victims. The memorial is visible from 395, right before the exit; just don't expect anything huge or flashy. After the exit, make another right and it's at end of the parking lot adjacent to a large soccer field (construction is going on across the street).The site consists of debris from WTC atopped with the US flag. There are benches around the memorial and an infograph recounting events of 9/11.Simple yet effective. Brought back a lot of memories.
We visited the memorial on Mother's Day, just weeks before the museum was to open to the public. President Obama was in town for the private opening to survivors and family members of lost loves. To see names of all of the list lives - many with "and unborn child or and unborn son" was chilling, sad and infuriating all at the same time. To see who was obviously a son there mourning the loss of his mother, with rose in hand and tears falling over her etched in name of the first memorial pool- watching him run his fingers across her name, kiss it, walking away crying. It was more than I expected and very emotionally charged. The memorial is beautiful. I think it bothered me that a lot of people saw it as more of a tourist attraction than a mass grave site to be respected and honored. Security had to yell at a few people who sat up on the actual memorial to get good angles for pictures. Sitting on the names of the deceased. Some just don't get it I suppose. Maybe I am overly sensitive- at least they were there, right? Anyway- completely with the lines (that moves rather quickly) to see. I don't recommend the "gift shop" - gross. That, in my opinion, was in bad taste from conception. Take the time to visit the memorial- it forever changed me.
进门说收费 但道德绑架 官方建议给五到十美元捐款 到里面暴力安检 各种脏乱差 最后真进去了 还不错 两个水池设计的相当美
If you walk around the site you shouldn't buy the World Trade Center booklets from the petteler's, the money goes to them and not to the surviver's and families of the victims of 9/11.
A fitting tranquil memorial to those who lost so much. My thoughts and prayers are with you always my family, my friends.
