Shameful: Meet the 9/11 Memorial Museum Gift Shop Cortney O'Brien | May 19, 2014
September 11 is a day no American will soon forget. Al Qaeda's attack on our soil was traumatic, but the bravery and camaraderie we displayed immediately afterward proved we as a country don't give up easily. That's why I'm sure many people initially welcomed the idea of a 9/11 Memorial Museum. Indeed, the museum displays some incredible artifacts from that fateful day, such as remnants of the towers and the wreck of Ladder Co. 3’s firetruck. But, all of those sincere remembrances are now tainted by a new feature - the 9/11 Memorial gift shop. The NY Post broke the shameful story over the weekend. Here's just a glimpse of what visitors can purchase in the shop:
The 9/11 museum’s cavernous boutique offers a vast array of souvenir goods. For example: FDNY, NYPD and Port Authority Police T-shirts ($22) and caps ($19.95); earrings molded from leaves and blossoms of downtown trees ($20 to $68); cop and firefighter charms by Pandora and other jewelers ($65); “United We Stand" blankets
What, no World Trade Center shot glasses or firefighter teddy bears? FULL STORY
