Located across the street from Ground Zero, the Tribute WTC Visitor Center not only keeps the memories of those who perished on September 11, 2001 alive, but it reminds visitors of the history of what took place that day and poses the question of what we can do to prevent something like this from happening again. On the eve of the eighth anniversary of this defining day in American History, FDNNTV.com's Dave Kirwan sat down with Lee Ielpi, Co-Founder and President of the Tribute WTC Visitor Center, to discuss the mission of the Center and the importance of understanding the history of September 11th and its aftermath. Watch Dave's interview and experience some of the images and artifacts that make up the Tribute WTC Visitor Center's five galleries in the first of a two part series.
