9/11 First Responders NOT WELCOME TO ATTEND CEREMONIES

The following is cross-posted (With Ham Radio related modifications) from this post of my political blog

As you know, I normally don't get political on here unless it has something to do with Ham Radio (I reserve such ramblings to my political blog) but this is SHAMEFUL & UNAMERICAN



Now as loyal subscribers of both of my blogs know, I normally DO NOT quote ANYTHING from known far Left Wing sources such as this, but unfortunately, there are SEVERAL mainstream media sources which have reported THE EXACT SAME THING

Here are just a few of them.....

WCBS Radio & TV (New York)
Yahoo! News

And just so we're clear - THIS IS NOT A PARTISAN ISSUE !!!!! Even Fox News, well known for being the mouthpiece of the GOP, is reporting it

Fox News

Furthermore, I think some of us tend to forget that some of the first responders are/were Hams THEMSELVES & responded either as support for the people resonsible for going into the WTC (Area disaster area workers working shelters, command posts & other on site emergency communications infrastructure), broadcast engineers (Who were trying as best they could under the circumstances to keep all the users of the WTC site on the air) or as police, fire & EMS workers THEMSELVES

As I said at the top of this post - This is SHAMEFUL & UNAMERICAN

But we can STAND UP to this. America should DEMAND that first responders be allowed to attend

HAVING A SEPERATE CEREMONY IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH !!!!! Make your voices heard
