Objection to Federal victim'Comp Program

My name is .
I am the Widow of , who
lost his life saving others at WTC Tower One on 9/11/01.
He was 39 yrs old, taught at the . He made a conscious
choice to jump in a patrol car through the Holland tunnel to respond at
(9:15am).
I received a cell phone call before he went in that he was NOT going to "just
watch."
He had to find a way out for others. The tower collapsed 90 minutes later. He
saved thousands of lives.
We have 6 children and he was an only child. His parents also depended on him
financially. His body to date is NOT recovered.
It is unjust & unfair to our entire family that you deduct his benefits from
any award given for his great sacrifice. How many Billions of dollars & lives
did he save the Government alone? Rescind the restrictions to deduct ANYTHING
from any reward.
You are actually making families chose to sue through this restriction.
