The World Trade Center Memorial in New York City is a must visit! It was September 11, 2001 when it stood last after two airplanes hit it and collapsed, killing thousands of people.

The hotel we stayed at, Millenium Hilton Hotel is right across, in fact we could see it from our bedroom’s window on one side. Just take the subway train to the World Trade Center, which is the last station to get there.  There is a Visitor’s Center immediately when you get up the subway where you can get a FREE ticket to go inside. It is scheduled and tickets can go fast, so try to do your visit in the morning.

Going into the memorial site itself is like going through an airport, security is very strict, so try to leave anything that you think you can’t get passed airport security. It’s literally like going through an airport security check.

Once inside you can freely go around and there are two memorial falls and some names are engraved around its walls. It is difficult to smile when having a picture taken here knowing how many people lost their lives.

My sister and I chose names to pray for, we prayed that the family they left will be comforted and that their lives that have been impacted by the death and fateful event will be able to move on and keep praying for the nation’s safety that something like this will never happen again.

Particularly chose to say prayers for the family of Sandra White and Madeilyn White.

Behind me is one of the new towers that replaces the Twin Tower, the place is now called ONE WORLD TRADE CENTER….  Some conspiracy theorists believe that this will house the office of those who want to implement the One World Government or what most call the New World Order.
