[Earth_First]

The commemorative 9/11 cheese plate featuring hearts designating the places where the hijacked planes crashed New York City, Washington D.C. and Shanksville, PA

Available from the 9/11 Memorial Museum store.

Seriously.

Who comes up with this stuff?!

Some remains are buried under the Museum or similar.

4. Decades ago

we were visiting Dallas. A store a few blocks from Dealy Plaza had a couple of shelves of Kennedy memorabilia; front and center, salt and pepper shakers in the form of JFK bust, holes in the top of the head. We'd gone in for cigarettes or something, just turned and left without buying anything.

11. Someone needs to put some goat cheese on Florida

To commemorate GWB staring blankly at "My Pet Goat" for 7 minutes as our nation was under threat



Seriously this is the most tacky, ill-conceived gift item in recent memory...

12. Laugh now

The day will surely come when owning one of these precious artifacts marks you as a True American.

13. Could also get a "Paul Jr." magnet (Orange County Choppers)

Where tragedy and reality show come together.

14. Do they have toy planes?
