Sunday, February 10, 2002 2:13 PM fund Dear Sirs, After reading the newspaper today, in particular an article on the reactions of the various parties involved in the compensation fund, I found myself wondering about the entire situation. Meaning no disrespect to those who lost their loved ones in the 9/11 attacks, I feel I must speak my mind. I grew up as a military dependant, my father served in Korea and in Vietnam. Knowing that the possibility of my father never coming home was very real, and knowing those whose fathers did not return, I fail to see the logic in the US government compensating anyone for something not of it's doing. We do not compensate the families of soldiers who die serving their country in times of war, why then in this case? Is the government then going to begin compensating the scores of families whose sons, fathers, and husbands gave their lives in war? Granted it was a great tragedy, more so to those whose lives were impacted by the attack, but this seems to go beyond logic. If payment were drawn upon the frozen assets of the perpetrators, this would seem to make more sense. I feel that although this is a well intentioned response to an event that we are completely unaccustomed to in this country, it is not the right response. Respectfully, Individual Comment September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2002-02-10 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
