I'm late on this, but excellent post Mike. I share your feelings when you say Americans should visit at least one of the sites. I myself have not been able to get back to NYC, but I'm sure when I do it's going to be very emotional, and very stirring for me. I did have to work that day, but at the checkpoint that morning we all said the Pledge of Allegiance, and at 5:46 mountain time, we had a moment of silence. It was a very reflective minute for me, and I definitely felt a lot of strong feelings come back as my eyes watered up. I also felt a lot of strength and appreciation for this great country we live in. It was great to see pride and warmth in people that day, and I wish it would carry on.
