First Responders Not Invited to Sept. 11 Event

First responders who rushed to the disaster scene on Sept. 11, 2001, are not invited to this year’s memorial service at Ground Zero, New York officials confirm. The service is scheduled for Sept. 11, 10 years after the terror attacks. In a statement, a spokesman for New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Andrew Brent, said the memorial is for victims’ families. “While we are again focused on accommodating victims’ family members,” Brent said, “given the space constraints, we’re working to find ways to recognize and honor first responders, and other groups, at different places and times.” I am disgusted over this……………….not only did they save many people but with the industry they work in. They may not have been blood relatives to the people that passed away but they would have worked very closely with some of the people that passed away. They lost some of their own colleagues. They came from far and wide risked their own lives even though they were not on duty…I’m disgusted with this that there is no room for them. If the whole world want to show up they should be allowed…nobody invited those planes nobody invited the heart ache but it came…………………so to be truthful if the people want to come let them come, and those politicians who have no connection oh ho hum make the room…..for those thousands of people who have a connection if you can’t find a venue with the room find a field find the grounds erect speakers and screens people won’t care about the weather they want to pay their respects. We think we know of one person who died there, he was on the phone to his parents the day before saying he was going to WTC and we haven’t heard from him since…..don’t the politicians know ITS ABOUT THE PEOPLE, how about they start living by this………I’m sick of politicians thinking they are the be all and all you are only their cause WE put you there, so step aside and show how big you are by allowing the people that matter to be there. Please…don’t be like the terrorists’. They were cowards and bully’s and politicians are behaving the same by not letting the people that MATTER be there
