Pam Schwartz and I had an opportunity to see some of the items from the 9-11 Memorial and Museum (180 Greenwich Street New York, NY 10007) up close. On the table in this sketch is an American flag which was covered with the names of people who died when the twin Towers fell. It is known as the flag of Honor. I didn’t have the time to write all the names. Versions of this flag are actually available online. Over 800,000 of these flags have been distributed across America and throughout the world.
The 9/11 Memorial & Museum is the country’s principal institution concerned with exploring 9/11 by documenting its impact, and examining its continuing significance. The museum honors those who were killed in the 2001 and 1993 attacks.
The 9/11 Memorial Museum is now open five days a week as a one-way visitor experience with new health and safety measures in place and ongoing operational changes to ensure a safe Museum experience. All visitors must wear CDC-approved masks and purchase tickets in advance for timed visits that allow for social distancing. Museum capacity is limited to 25 percent.
