| We truly enjoyed the Ground Zero Museum. Gary's pictures gave us a feel of what it must have been like during the many months he was allowed into Ground Zero. The exhibits were all in good taste. Gary even came in during our "tour" and was very happy to answer questions that we had. I highly recommend this tour for anyone living in or visiting New York City. |

| We attended this not sure of what to expect. It surpassed our expectations. Although a small museum it was filled with emotions and allowed you to be reflective of everything you were seeing. The individual audio descriptions allowed guest to reflect individually rather than as a group. I purchased one of the books and just finished reading and looking at the pictures last night. I remember when President Kennedy was shot and as a little girl, I still have the books, articles and other items. In a recent trip to Dallas, I visited the small museum there where the shots rang from and caused me to reflect on all those years ago. This experience at the Ground Zero Museum will be one of those lifelong memories to hold close to my heart as well. Thank you for giving us this opportunity. The only problem was that the Taxi driver did not know anything or where the museum was located. |

| i am a photographer myself and was very much moved by both the photographs and artifacts. It captured the sincerity of the tragedy and brought to life that moment, that was both moving and timeless. From artistic point of view I found it to be like a master photographer, . Thank you for the opportunity to meet and talk to Gary.

| We were very fortunate that Gary Sosson was at the museum the day we visited. His photos are absolutely amazing . . . along with the self-guided audio tour and video presentation, they provide a moving and emotion-eliciting reminder to never forget. Do yourself a favor and see it. |

| This was a brilliant piece of work. It really put the whole event into perspective. I think possibly non US residents could not quite understand the enormity of the event but now I can. |

| This was the most well done and meaningful activity I have participated in for a long time. Thoughtful and respectful. It should not be missed. I only wish it could go on tour much like the Viet Nam wall so that all would have the opportunity to see it. |

| Although I was, at first, underwhelmed by the size and appearance of the museum, I found it to be a very worthwhile visit. The video presentation and the many objects in the museum told the story of the 911 attack in a powerful, personal manner. I would recommend the visit very highly to anyone who is interested in understanding the personal effect 911 had on so many people. |

| Though small, this museum had an intensive display of photos and items recovered from Ground Zero with audio stories of each display. Very tasteful account of what happened on 9/11/2001 that literally took you back in time to that horrific day New Yorkers endured. I was able to buy a beautiful book by Gary Suson who was the appointed photographer of this horrific event. I will treasure this book as an important part of American history that affected the entire world. The young tour guide did an awesome job of respectfully narrating the contents of this modest museum and, out of respect for this nation, ALL Americans visiting NYC should visit this Ground Zero Museum. I was there - my room overlooked Ground Zero...part of me felt self-loathing for looking down into it, yet I could not stop. God bless Gary Suson, the citizens of this awesome city, and God bless all of us. THANK YOU. |

| The photos and artifacts of the museum are amazing .. and the stories that go along with them are not to be missed. Reminds us that WE MUST NOT FORGET. We had two young teens (13 and 15) with us and they were just as interested as the adults. Reminds them, too, without gore, of the impact and import of 9/11. We had the extra special opportunity to be led through the museum by the "9/11 Photographer" who took the photos and gathered many of the artifacts. Very personable and obviously respectful of the material. |
