Twitter Users Share Their Memorial Moments
Since opening, the 9/11 Memorial has welcomed hundreds of thousands of visitors from across the globe – people who have come to these hallowed grounds to remember, reflect and pay tribute. In addition to seeing the names of the nearly 3,000 victims and standing in the place where the twin towers once stood, many have been moved to capture and share their moments at the memorial.
