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. Thursday, March 21, 2002 2:07 PM heroes WILL WE EVER LEARN? It has been brought to my attention that administrators of the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund have decided that not everyone in this country is equal. I am refering to the discrimination of gay and lesbian partners of those lost in our greatest national tradgedy. It is my understanding that compensation will either be lessened or outright denied these families of our heroes. I not only strongly disagree with this position but am sickened by the blatant effort to cheapen the lives of those who walked into hell to serve and protect us "all" ie. black, white, hispanic, short, tall, heterosexual, homosexual... Why, after what should have been a unifying event, does our government look beyond our simple humanity and label our differences? We are all human beings. We are all Americans. And they were all heroes. On September 11, 2001 people, "families" were ripped apart. Acknowledge and respect that. The makeup of those families should be irrelevant.
