Thursday, March 14, 2002 5:56 PM Proud of our Heros If the stories are true, that loved ones and family members of homosexuals lost to the terrorist attacks of 9/11 will not be compensated by the "funds" are true, the enemy at large have truly won over America! I am a heterosexual and am APPALLED at the idea that surviving loved ones and family members of homosexuals will not receive benefits from this fund because of the sexual preferences of the victims. I, for one, am still torn with emotion, that individuals made a choice on 9/11 to sacrifice themselves to the benefit of a larger population. I can only imagine the fear they must have felt, to never see or hold their loved ones again and yet they did what any good American would do. They freely gave their lives so others would live. All people! The events of 9/11 are sad enough and will forever be ingrained in my heart and soul, as they are to the rest of Americans in this country and to others abroad. I am proud to be an American, am honored that so many other proud Americans died in heroic efforts, but am greatly saddened by a Government that would allow an additional atrocity to occur. How can we be so ignorant to exclude "certain" people who gave their lives so willing for this country? How is it that we can acknowledge some, including illegals, and ignore others? How is it to hide behind State laws for some and bend them for others? If you think about it, the enemy really doesn't have such a difficult job in destroying our Great Nation and it's People, they just have to sit by and watch us do it to ourselves.
