Compensation for Families of Sept 11 attack

Kenneth L. Zwick
Director Office of Management Programs
U.S. Department of Justice

Dear Mr. Zwick,
I am writing to express my support for including gay/lesbian/bisexual and
transgender families in the "Victim Compensation Fund." As an American
citizen who has lived in a family relationship with another man for nearly
seventeen years, and as the father of a two-year old boy, I believe that
our family is no less deserving the protection and support of our nation
than any other. And should we personally experience a tragedy of the
magnitude of September 11, I would hope that the nation would come to our
aid as fellow Americans.

My hope is that one day our nation will rise above the petty divisiveness
we so often see and hear, and recognize the great wonder and diversity of
the families that weave together the fabric of our society.

Thank you,
