Upon entering the virtual field trip, the 9/11 tribute center immediately grabbed my attention. Though born after the terrorist attacks occurred, I am very well aware that on September 11, 2001, thousands of innocent lives were cut short, and the New York skyline would be longing its beautiful twin towers. The 9/11 museum, located just about where the towers in lower Manhattan once stood, is home to pieces of shrapnel, debris, recovered artifacts, the shoes of civilians, news recording, voicemails, and so many other memorials from that day of terror. It serves to inform and educate future generations of the 9/11 attacks, so that they are never forgotten, but rather remembered. The tribute museum aims to connect with teachers and students as a way to compile a number of personal stories from the exact day in order to keep the memory alive.

September 11, 2001, the day in which U.S. history was changed forever.
