The two RV Gypsies have visited the three major 9/11 memorials (NYC, Flight 93 in PA, and inside the Pentagon). Plus Project 9/11 in Indianapolis, Indiana. This cannot compare, but it is a nice little memorial with a beam from the World Trade Centers located right next to the Public Library. But it is impressive, outdoors, self-guided and free.

Right next to the 9-11 Memorial, there was a statue for Brigadier General Strong Vincent, Hero of Gettysburg. It seems like a strange place for it, and the sign is not in the best condition.
