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.

Wednesday, December 26, 2001 10:29 AM To Whom it May Concern, After seeing some of the guidelines I am extremely disheartened and angered. The pain and suffering of the past few months is immeasurable in a dollar amount. If it was however it would far exeed $100-500,000. Let's be realistic. We,the families, went through weeks of not knowing if our loved ones were alive, we are left to imagine the way in which they died, and we have been forced to make many exhausting trips into the city. On top of that we have bee bombarded with the recognition of NYPD and FDNY. Everyone died doing their job. It is wrong to acknowledge people by occupation. A BADGE DOES NOT MAKE A HERO. And the statue that will be erected with the firemen putting the American flag on the antenna of the towers should not represent the firemen who died. IT IS THE AMERICAN FLAG, IT IS WHERE MY FATHER DIED, IT SHOULD REPRESENT EVERYONE. Also, this is AMerica, land of opportunity. Who is to say that one of the waiters, for example, working in Windows of the World was not saving money to go to college to be a doctor. Congress passing laws granting FDNY NYPD families $250,000 along with the biased Mayor Guiliani's Twin Tower fund is utterly disgusting. I think that the mayor is WRONG and DOING A TERRIBLE JOB WITH ASSISTING THE FAMILIES OF ALL VICTIMS OF 9-11. Something needs to be done, because right now I am not proud to be an American. I would appreciate a letter in return to my comments. I have made several attempts to contact the president and vice president and all I get is a response to donate money to the children of Afghanistan. FORGET ABOUT THEM, LET'S CONCENTRATE ON OUR COUNTRY. Respectfully yours, son of the HERO (a carpenter) Individual Comment September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2001-12-26 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
