9/11, 9 3/4 Years Later: How Do You Feel About the Upcoming 10th Anniversary?
The 10th anniversary of the attacks on America is approaching. Are we any safer?

This is one issue that affects all Americans. It was a bi-partisan event. What do you think?
The 10th anniversary of 9/11 is quickly approaching. Almost 3,000 people died on 9/11. Since that horrible day, over 1,100 first responders have died. Let us also not forget the over 5,000 men and women of the greatest military in the world who have been killed in the war arena.
Thousands and thousands of more responders are sick and dying and more still are coming forward. Now The federal government and current administration is having the first responders checked to make sure that we (that's right, I am a first responder also) are not terorists, delaying compensation even more. Also, as a point of information there were 15 9/11 hero first responders living in our great town of Barnegat. My great friend and Barnegat Resident Harold J. "Smitty" Smith, NYPD Sgt., died two months ago.

How do you feel 10 years later, and do you think that the first responders of that day are being treated fairly?
