6. It doesn't cost a dime to enter Gettysburg, only a couple of dollars for Antietam. . .

the Normandy Museum and Memorial is free, as are the memorials to the Vietnam War, the Korean War, WW2, and the American Expeditionary Force (WW1). The National Civil War Museum costs only $10. The National WW1 Museum charges $14, but that's for a two day pass. And while the National World War 2 Museum charges $22, the events chronicled there lasted for a few hours longer than did the event on September 11, 2001.

And what are visitors going to see? Or buy in the Gift Shop? Copies of The Very Hungry Caterpillar?
