| I would highly recommend this museum and we were very fortunate to meet Gary when we visited. The photos and artifacts display not only the pain and anguish of September 11, but also the resilience and strength of America and her people. They remind us that for short time we came together simply as Americans, regardless of our differences in politics, religion, race, culture, etc. They remind us of our potential to do so again. |

| This is probably the smallest museum in NY but the one that left the biggest impression. |

| An incredibly rewarding few hours.. Gary's spirit and passion ooze out of the walls of this very special place. If you visit New York you must come. Be prepared to relive some of the raw emotions of 9/11. You will also be uplifted by the photos and stories of the many heroes of that day.
Bravo Gary and thank you for letting us share the experiences and insights that were granted only to you.. |

| We were on our first visit to New York City and this museum was on the top of our list of things to do. It was well worth attending. We came out of the museum feeling very touched by everything that we saw. |

| We went to New York for our Mother's birthday and did all the tourist attractions. I some how before our trip stumbled on this. It looked great so we bought our tickets online. When we got there you instantly realized that this was going to be a very sad day. I cried just watching the introductory video. We were lucky enough to be there when the photogropher Gary was there. He seemed like a very humble man. The pictures were taken so tastefully that you felt like you were not being voyers, but understanding how hard the recovery process was for all involved. The stories that go with each photo will live in me for the rest of my life. I purchased the coffee table book and after we visited ground zero we went to a pub right around the corner called Ohara's. I was looking throught the book I had just purchased and the bartender stopped and asked where I got it. I told him and he asked to look at it. In one of the pictures there was a missing person flyer with a firefighter made by his fiance. Steve the bartender came running over to our table and said, "Thats my best friend Joe!" He was amazed that he had such a strong feeling to stop and ask me to borrow the book when he was tending a busy bar, and then there was Joe. He told us stories about that horrible 9/11 day and we shared stories we had just seen in your workshop. Steve said he was going to go to this workshop, he had never even heard of it until now. He went to call his wife and ran over to us and said he opened his phone and it was 3:43pm, the number of firefighters that died that day. The workshop really made the experience more than just going to ground zero, it made us never forget the men and women who died there. I was so touched that by the end of the trip I bought a FDNY sweater that I proudly wear in my home town in California, and I understand more what that means. Thanks Gary for such a memorable experience! |

It was both an emotional and educational experience. |

| I treasure the time I spent in the Ground Zero Museum. I could have stayed another hour listening to the voices telling of their impressions on that day in 2001. I come from a family with three firefighters as close relatives so it was especially memorable to me. Your heart went out to the families just the same as when we watched it on TV on 9/11/01. Tears running down our faces that day and many, many more days as the stories of the dead surfaced. Some of the "behind the scenes" stories we will never forget. All those families that lost a mother or a father that horrible day. This was my first visit to New York. I am so happy one from our group encouraged us to buy tickets in advance for the Ground Zero Museum. I hadn't planned on doing much shopping in New York but was bound & determined what shopping I did would be items purchased at your location. Later that day someone in Battery Park noticed I was carrying a Ground Zero Museum shopping bag & commented on it. I will happily tell anyone I know going to New York that they will not regret a visit to Ground Zero Museum. |
