Saturday, December 08, 2001 9:55 PM Sept 11th Victim Compensation Fund I am writing today to ask you to invest a few minutes in the cause of justice and equality. In the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks, the U.S. Justice Department established the "September 11 Victim Compensation Fund." The purpose of this fund is to provide assistance to persons who were injured as a result of the attacks and to compensate the relatives of those who were killed. The U.S. Department of Justice is now inviting public comments on how this fund should be administered and how funds should be distributed. From the brave young gay man who lost his life on the plane attempting to save the lives of innocent people... to the gay priest who lost his life while ministering at Ground Zero... to the many lesbian and gay employees working in the World Trade Center.. I ask you to please keep these Americans in mind and please remember that Gays and Lesbians are suffering and sad and in need of help also. Thank you very kindly for your time and attention. Happy Holidays to you and yours.
