Title A name given to the resource Department of Justice Emails Description An account of the resource The Department of Justice received more than 11,000 e-mails in response to the agency's public solicitation for comments upon its plans to distribute the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 established by Congress to benefit the victims of September 11 and their families. These e-mails have been organized here by date. September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Monday, March 18, 2002 4:16 PM September 11 Victim Compensation Fund I was just notified that on Sunday morning's "Meet the Press," Kenneth Feinberg, the head of the September 11 Victim's Compensation Fund (a program of the US Dept. of Justice), is planning on limiting what kind of compensation goes to gay and lesbian victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks. And from what I read, gays and lesbians will probably get nothing. When boarded the plane home that September morning, he had no idea that within hours he would die a hero. At 10:03 a.m. on the 11th of September, authorities believe the 6-foot-5 rugby player from San Francisco was one of a handful of passengers who brought United Flight 93 down in a field in Pennsylvania. There were no survivors. Had and his fellow travelers not acted, it is thought the plane would have been flown into the US Congress. Well, what about beloved, or and other Gay Heroes of 9/11? Did their life partners suffer less then that of a married couple because they are gay? No. Ladies and gentlemen, September 11th united us all. Do not untie the greatness of that. Do not let thousands of deaths become vain. Gays and Lesbians and their partners have the same dreams and aspirations of all Americans. They also have the same pains. You will overlook the law for illegal aliens and you should overlook the law for the homosexual heroes of September 11th.
