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. Friday, March 29, 2002 11:33 PM Benefits being denied I am appalled that in this day and age our Country, our Government, is denying benefits to GLBT families of which one was lost during the September 11th terrorist attacks. As I was reading the website I noticed the name "September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001." According to the Meriam-Webster Dictionary, your use of the word 'Victim' is correct in this decision to exclude GLBT American's compensation for the loss of their loved ones.....please see highlited area in definition below.........this seems to explain it to me! Once again, let me tell you, I am angered at this action our Government is taking. A family is a family, and a family torn apart is a FAMILY torn apart........and should be treated as such. Also see definition of FAMILY below.
