Monday, March 18, 2002 12:54 PM 9/11 Compensation Fund Discriminatory Mr. Kenneth L. Zwick, Director Office of Management Programs Civil Division U.S. Department of Justice Main Building, Room 3140 950 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, DC 20530 Dear Mr. Zwick, As an American citizen and a military spouse, I am furious to learn that the partners and family members of the gay and lesbian victims of the tragedies of Sept. 11 will not be entitled to the same benefits as others. This is particularly disheartening when gays and lesbians figure prominently among the heroes of that awful day, including &nbsp , who helped bring down the flight in Pennsylvania; &nbsp . &nbsp , who died in the line of duty when the first tower fell; and &nbsp , who was &nbsp of the plane that crashed into the &nbsp . When the tragedies of September 11 are used - occasionally even exploited - as a rallying cry for unity among all Americans, I find it sad and decidedly "un-American" that some of the loved ones of those who acted most valiantly to save the lives of others would be excluded or slighted in the effort to provide relief. I find this particularly upsetting when I hear that even unborn fetuses and the families of illegal aliens will be entitled to full benefits, while the families of many full-fledged citizens in good standing will not. This is wrong. If we are providing benefits for ALL, then let us truly provide them for ALL. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Very sincerely, Individual Comment September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2002-03-18 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
