Original caption

Some places in New York City are more than destinations. 🇺🇸 The 9/11 Memorial & Museum is a powerful place to reflect, remember, and honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001. If you visit NYC, give yourself time to truly take in this experience. The green location tag has tickets if you need them. #tiktokgostarcreator #neverforget #nyc #september11 #worldtradecenter
