I lost 343 of my brothers that day. The time I went to the memorial, I spoke to a security guard, who had lost his father who was a NYPD officer on 9-11-2001. He told me that visitors have tried to setup blankets and have a picnic at the memorial.

I was an NYPD first responder that’s battling a few different kinds of WTC cancers atm. My practice, and advice to you, is to simply avoid the area. I know what happened and who did what. I don’t need to go there and be angry again over it.

(For the record, I have a regular Reddit acct but some mod here didn’t like something I said in private and banned me. What it was, I have no idea)
