Blaze Poll: Should People be Taking 'Selfies' at the 9/11 Memorial?

In New York City, the place where the World Trade Center's twin towers once stood is now the site of a large and beautiful memorial to all of the victims of the attacks on America on September 11, 2001.

The eight acre memorial is also in the shadow of the new Freedom Tower and has become a destination for tourists visiting the city. However, the behavior of some of the people stopping by the monument is raising eyebrows. Namely, people have been seen taking "selfies" with the somber memorial's walls and fountains in the background.
