The 9/11 Memorial and Museum has been listed as a destination that embodies a spirit of patriotism in USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice 2016 poll.

USA Today “is out to find America's best patriotic attractions – sites that help us remember our past and ignite our national pride.”

Editors selected 20 locations across the United States as nominees. To support the 9/11 Memorial Museum, you can vote once per day until Monday, June 20.

It’s not the first time the 9/11 Memorial and Museum was selected as a top destination. Last year, the 9/11 Memorial and Museum was voted in TripAdvisor's top five national landmarks. The Memorial also ranked in the top 20 international landmarks for Travelers’ Choice in 2015.
