Bush told The Associated Press last week that he wanted to make sure the part of the museum devoted to 9/11 was powerful enough to remind visitors of how much the world changed that day.
"It's very emotional and very profound," Bush said. "One of the reasons it has to be is because memories are fading rapidly and
