9/11 Memorial Honors Veterans This Memorial Day Weekend!

Big news, ChumCityzens! The 9/11 Memorial & Museum in NYC is stepping up to honor our amazing veterans this Memorial Day weekend. Starting Friday, all veterans get in FREE! It's their way of saying "thank you" to those who selflessly answered the call after the events of September 11, 2001.

Remembering 9/11 and Honoring Service

The museum already offers free admission to active-duty military, but this Memorial Day, they're extending that generosity to all veterans. Josh Cherwin, Chief Advancement and Communications Officer, emphasized the importance of remembering 9/11, a day that inspired so many to serve.

Educating a New Generation

"For countless Americans, September 11, 2001, was a call to serve," Cherwin explained. He highlights that many young recruits have no direct memory of 9/11. This free admission is a way to honor their service and educate a new generation about that pivotal moment in history.

Never Forget

John Paluska, a retired Army Green Beret and member of the museum's Visionary Leadership Council, who enlisted after 9/11, believes it's crucial for the next generation to learn about that day and its impact. He stated his pride in the museum for ensuring the service of those who served because of that day is never forgotten.

25th Anniversary Approaching

With the 25th anniversary of 9/11 just around the corner this September, it's more important than ever to remember the sacrifices made by so many military families. This Memorial Day, let's all take a moment to honor their dedication and service.
