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. Friday, November 30, 2001 4:48 PM September 11th Victim's Fund Please take into consideration those very real "families" that do not fit into the "traditional" molds. I lost my life partner when she went to work September 11, 2001 in the WTC buildings. I have been crying and grieving everyday since then, the SAME as hundreds and thousands of other "spouses" who have lost their loved ones. We shared our home, shared bills, shared love and many happy times together. We had made a commitment to each other and were indeed "family" to each other. We were first & foremost to each other. I firmly believe domestic partners whether same-sex or not, absolutely MUST be acknowledged and afforded the SAME rights, privileges and priority as would any other 'legal' spouse. Why should a brother or sister who did NOT provide for any type of support either financially or emotionally in addition to those who disapproved of their lost sibling's life-style now find themselves with a potential "windfall" simply because they are "next of kin". I am taking medication just to function normally, my work has suffered due to days missed because its difficult to know that she's gone and now I'm alone so subsequently I am docked pay. There is no amount of money that can give me back the person that I have loved. She was taken from me because of the ignorance and hatred of others. To provide financial compensation without consideration as to how and with whom a victim shared their life would be wrong. Please DO NOT DISHONOR HER - Please DO THE RIGHT THING. Do not insult or dishonor the many others who are in my very same situation. Thank you.
