Maryland football wide receiver Nick DeGennaro first visited Ground Zero about four years after the Sept. 11 attacks. He remembers standing with his extended family, pointing out American flags and looking at photos of those who lost their lives.
“I think I was like four or five when I first went to that scene,” DeGennaro told Testudo Times. “I went to that scene multiple times and it’s huge. I mean when you’re a little kid, I mean I already knew about it, but you see it, I mean, I don’t care how old you are, you see that scene and it’s like, ‘Woah’… and then you learn about it and it’s huge.
