The 9/11 Memorial & Museum has announced that all veterans will now receive free admission, a move that began on Friday. This expanded policy honors individuals whose military service was significantly influenced by the September 11 attacks. The museum aims to recognize the service of veterans and educate younger generations about the historic day.

For veterans like retired Army Green Beret John Paluska, the experience of the attacks at age 18 profoundly shaped his life, leading him to enlist. He emphasized the importance of ensuring that the sacrifices made and the events of 9/11 are never forgotten by future Americans and those currently serving.
