snopes.com: Tear Drop 9/11 Monument
The Snopes article did state:

"Contrary to the claim of the eRumor, the announcement of the intended memorial as well as its dedication did receive nationwide news coverage including a visit to New Jersey on September 15, 2005, by Russian president Vladimir Putin for the groundbreaking ceremony."

Perhaps more coverage would have been nice, but with all due respect I don't think "nationwide news coverage" warrants a "didn't get much press" status!
