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. Thursday, December 27, 2001 6:41 PM Family's Compensation To Whom it May Concern: We all found out on September 11th that anything can happen at any time. I am writing because I was told that the family of New York Police Officer would be receiving an amount that the family felt was insulting. No one can put a value on a human life, and if they could it certainly wouldn't be an amount as small as the one in question. I am a taxpayer and I want my money that I pay out of my own pocket each week to benefit families like the. I don't want to spend billions of dollars fighting a never ending war. "Charity begins at home," is a phrase I often hear from a coworker. I feel it couldn't be a more accurate statement. While we are sending food packages to a country that ultimately condemns America, our own are struggling to make ends meet after they lost a loved one. Officer family saw how drastically their lives could change in an instant, and who is to say that something else could befall these people in the future. What will 's survivors do if they lose another source of income? How will his children go to college? If he has a daughter, who will pay for her wedding? Stop and think how much you would feel your family were entitled to if something else had happened in Washington on that day. What if was the DOJ instead of the Pentagon? Care for our own, before we care for others. Please help this family, this may be all they have. Thank you for your consideration. God bless you and God bless America.
