Monday, January 21, 2002 11:52 PM Comments Federal Victims Compensation Program I attended the rally on 1/18 at the Park Avenue Armory in NYC. Below are my comments regarding the aforementioned subject: As the spouse of FDNY/Paramedic , who gave his life to save others on September 11, I am disappointed on the ruling of the Federal Victims Compensation Program, specifically on how the amount was determined for each family affected by this tragedy, especially the Uniform personnel. Why should Uniform personnel be penalized for having a good pension and/or life insurance when their type of job puts them at risk every day? In order for them to protect and make sure their families are taken care of, they would need to have this pension and/or life insurance. Why then should pension/life insurance or any government funds be deducted from the amount being compensated to prevent the families from sueing the airlines. With this ruling, many families are not being given a choice. It gears families who are being penalized to go towards a lawsuit, but at the same time they don't want to go thru the emotional anguish of a lawsuit. Eventhough, money would not replace the 3,000 lives lost on 9/11, reality is that all the families need to be compensated fairly and equally. Personally, I have had a great loss and I would never be able to fulfill all my dreams with my love one the way we had planned but knowing that my husband die as a hero doing the job that he loved for 17 years and the country that he love; I feel that the right decision will be made to justify for the country's great loss!
