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. Wednesday, December 05, 2001 2:29 PM 9/11 Victims' Compensation Fund To Whom It May Concern: My husband and I were traveling in Spain on September 11. We were devasted and alarmed, of course. We were concerned for our family back in the US, for our safety as we traveled, for the terrible pain and suffering of those who were directly affected. We had planned to travel to Morocco on September 13, and after spending hours watching the news (sometimes in Spanish), we wondered whether that was wise. But we decided that life goes on, and so we went. Interestingly enough, a couple on the tour we took on the 13th, was from New York City. They were very concerned about friends that they knew might have been in the Twin Towers. They were anxious for commuhications with home to be possible, and checking their email address regularly, and very emotionally distraught. They were also gay. It upsets me to think that they, if they had been in New York that day, and their friends might be treated differently from any other couples, especially in such a traumatic time. Enough pain has been suffered! Everyone who lost a partner or child or parent deserves to be treated the same, regardless of sexual orientation! So this letter is strongly supporting equal compensation for all victims of 9/11. Let's stop the terrorism against gay men and lesbians that exists in the US, starting NOW.
