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. Tuesday, March 12, 2002 9:56 AM The Parent-Child Relationship and 911 Office of Management Programs Civil Division U.S. Department of Justice Main Building, Room 3140 950 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, DC 20530 Dear Mr. Feinberg: This letter will be simple because this is not about intricate legislation, but about the children taken and the parents left behind in 911. First and foremost, I continue to be startled by the lack of recognition for parents. Historically, biblically, and genetically there is a strong life-long bond between parents and children. Parents are suffering what is considered to be the greatest loss of all. Plain and simple--parents should be financially compensated for pain and suffering. Parents have to endure the daily media and conversations in addition to their personal grief. In addition, many parents have not received the remains of their children for burial. All of these things are devastating. Being a parent does not end when your child is 20, 25, 30...; the 911 funds should reconsider the disregard being shown to parents and reallocate funds to provide the necessary support to parents. Of course a variety of circumstances exist, but there are families where parents are unable to work or have lost their employment as a result of 911. Yes, spouses and children should receive necessary benefits--but then parents. In America the divorce rate is over fifty percent, yet all 911 funds are going to spouses. The parent-child relationship is a life-long relationship and should be fairly compensated. I believe there is enough funding to address these issues. Think deeply about the role, meaning, and importance of parents. Plain and simple--parents should be financially compensated for pain and suffering. Sincerely, A 911 Victim's Sister Individual Comment September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2002-03-12 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
