IT IS AN OUTRAGE AND AN INSULT TO ALL THOSE WHO DIED

I SIMPLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND. ALL OF THOSE BRAVE PEOPLE, WHO PERISHED AT THEIR
POSTS, WERE WORKING AND LIVING TOGETHER AS EQUALS. THEY TRIED TO HELP AND
SAVE EACH OTHER AS EQUALS. THEY CRIED AND GRIEVED AS EQUALS. THE ONES NOT
FOUND, REST SIDE BY SIDE AS EQUALS.

HOWEVER, OUR GOVERNMENT HAS DECIDED THAT THEY WERE NOT EQUALS, AND THEIR
SURVIVORS, THE ONES LEFT TO GRIEVE THEM AND REMEMBER THEM AND KEEP THEIR
MEMORIES ALIVE ARE NOT TO BE TREATED AS EQUALS.

IT IS OUTRAGEOUS TO THINK THAT A CITY, A STATE, A COUNTRY AND A PEOPLES THAT
RALLIED, HELPED, DEFEND, AND MOURNED. WHO REKINDLED THE AMERICAN SPIRIT AT A
TIME WHEN IT WAS NEEDED SO MUCH. WHEN NO ONE ASKED "WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME",
JUST "WHAT CAN I DO" WOULD DROP THE BALL AND FAIL AT THE LAST MINUTE; AND
FAIL MEASURABLY..
