| I can't say when I've been so touched as I was last week at this memorial of Ground Zero. The artifacts and photos were so moving, as was the film shown. Thank you, Gary for this wonderful tribute. |

| My husband and myself attended the ground zero workshop museum with no knowledge of what would be there, we left with lots of information about personal accounts of others experiance of that fateful day. To have this information shared i feel is important as it highlights the courage that many have shown through attending their work wich can inspire others to offer skills they may have and not used. It reminds us of these normal people's lives that we are vulnerable also in our normal day to day events, but also shows the importance to carry on, and not waste the life we have.
I also acknowledge the diffficulty that these survivors have in the need to tell their story without sensationalism.
The outcome is after this workshop, is that I have faces in my head and these will always be remembered, this will always produce thought , which i feel is a success.
Thankyou sherri curtis england. |

| We visited on Friday 27th October 2006. We were lucky to be given our tour by Gary Suson and we were very impressed with the museum. It was very sensitive towards the issue. All the photos were taken with the utmost consideration for all those involved. The artifacts gave an insight into the events of that terrible day. We would recommend this museum to anyone visiting New York as it is a very special place.

| This exhibit is the epitomy of humanitarianism. The Photograher/Owner/Curator, Gary Suson,displays in pictures and in actual items from ground zero the carnage left behind. However, this exhibit is not about the bad which occured on 9/11, he has managed to memorialize the event and honor the victims of 9/11.
While the potential for tears is always surrounding that event. I found myself not so overwhelmed to tears, but rather observing and trying to answer as many of my unanswered questions as possible.
I was fortunate to have Gary Suson give us the actual tour, which was very moving and very apparent just how passionate he is about his work and full intention of the museum, to help heal himself, the other firefighters who worked the recovery sight and American hearts.
Highly recommend, |

| My wife wanted to see the workshop, while I was less than enthusiastic about it. We have a son who is a US Marine serving a second tour in Iraq and I am a Deputy Sheriff in California.
After arriving at the workshop we were greated by Gary. I knew nothing about Gary or that he was the only photographer during the recovery.
After a couple hours with Gary, it was apparent how devoted to the project he is. His time at Ground Zero is always with him.
The items, photographs and the stories behind each item truly touched our hearts. Gary's photography conveys every emotion I felt about September 11th.
Our tour ended and we said our good-bys to Gary. As we walked away from the museum, I was thankful we had me Gary and had the chance to visit the museum.
Gary's photographs are a piece of American history. ''Remember 9-11'' means something new to us after visiting the workshop.
Thank-You Gary.

| …An extraordinary tribute to the victims and survivors of 9-11.
Photographer Gary Marlon Suson guides you through his personal experience as well as the stories of many others who were affected by this tragic event. Through photographs, video, tangible objects and a self guided audio tour, the museum will bring you right back to that tragic day. A very moving experience - it’s a must see museum for both NY natives and visitors.

| I am a transplanted New Yorker who witnessed the horrific events of September 11 from my television screen many states away. Visiting Gary Suson's museum workshop was a gratifying, sad reminder of something we need never forget. His photographs captured a myriad of emotions, they brought me right to the time and place - on a very personal level. There was plenty of background information and many specific stories that helped me pinpoint my vague grief. The artifacts only made it all the more real. This was an extremely cathartic experience, made even better by the fact that Gary was there to be our guide. |

| Gary Marlon Suson's emotionally charged photographs combine with an impressive collection of artifacts from Ground Zero to create a sense of immediacy and intimacy, propellling the visitor into the heart of the Recovery effort. Suson's small gallery space contributes to the effectiveness of the visitor experience, humanizing and personalizing the visitor's encounter with this surreal time and space. The visitor is left with a deeper understanding of one man's experience of the Ground Zero Recovery, but this one experience is illustrated with an eye for the universal. |

| As a firefighter returning after 9-11, I was deeply moved and appreciative of Gary Suson's work. The sharing of his experience at ground zero is something all of us should see so we may heal but "never foget " |
