The 9/11 Memorial foundation, funded to the tune of $830 million, has begun nickel-and-diming visitors for ticket reservations.
Even though the nonprofit has long vowed admission to the sacred site would be free, it is now demanding $2 per ticket for all advance reservations made online or by phone.
Officials quietly rolled out the fee on March 1 — but it did not escape the notice of some outraged families of Sept. 11 victims.
“I don’t want the American public to have to pay a dime to pay respects to my son,” said Sally Regenhard, whose firefighter son, Christian, died in the World Trade Center attacks.

Disgraceful.
I was just in nyc last week and its not a fee to visit the memorial its a fee to reserve your time online. If you go and just reserve your time at the location in person its free.
Families should not have any say regarding the memorial.No one owes them a thing.Their 15 minutes is over and their loved ones gone forever.If they need therapy to get on with their lives then give it to them,but then cut em loose.Since the attack was not generated from within the US we owe them nothing.
302 15 min you sir are a Assh/le and would like to talk this over with you in person, You POS, Hope you don't need 15 Min cause i will give you 15 min behind any back yard.
