I've been to the outdoor portion of the memorial several times. It's beutiful and peaceful. But it is sad. It took me a few visits before I was able to will myself into the museum portion of the memorial. I finally went in 2006. I'm glad I did. Even as I type this my eyes begin to well with tears. And I'm a grown man. The sense of sadness, helplessness and even anger are still there. But these are to be expected when the innocent die. The displays are heartwrenching at times but ultimately there is a sense of hope that even out of something so tragic and senseless God and reach down into this sinfull world and cause poeple to reach out and help those who need it most. This place is a must see.
