With the [new 9/11 memorial museum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dday-museum) coming up at the end of the month, everyone will be able to honor the passing of loved ones and all of those who were part of the senseless loss that was September 11th, 2001. All tickets for the opening of the museum have been sold out, however the memorial area is free with a visitors pass. [Reserving a spot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/museotrack) is quite affordable at only two dollars and it is recommended.
