My highschool did this Explore America trip when I was a junior. All of us mid-west kids got to fly out to the east coast and see what Boston, Philadelphia, D.C., and New York had to offer. In New York City we visited what was then the Freedom Tower's (that what it's called?) hole in the ground. Near Ground Zero there was this little 'Church That Stood'. Some old church that had been showered in heavy debris from the Twin Towers but survived. I figured it would be this serene memorial but inside they were just selling 9/11 keychains and bumper stickers. Yikes. The price of never forgetting... six fifty, plus sales tax.
