9/11 First Responders Are Barred from Entering the Memorial
From the story: As Americans across the country prepare to observe the 20th anniversary of 9/11, one group of those impacted by the terrorist attacks is being excluded from official ceremonies at Ground Zero in lower Manhattan (Townhall.com). https://townhall.com/tipsheet/spencerbrown/2021/09/09/911-survivors-first-responders-excluded-from-20th-anniversary-events-at-ground-zero-n2595611
From the New York Post: In years past, the reading of the names of 2,983 deceased has been attended by Presidents Bush and Obama, US senators, governors and other dignitaries. This year, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum sent the usual invitations to the relatives of the victims saying, “The ceremony will be exclusively for 9/11 family members” (NY Post). https://nypost.com/2021/08/14/9-11-memorial-excludes-first-responders-survivors-on-20th-anniversary/

Many First Responders died trying to save people. This isn't going to sit well with everyone.

When you lost someone you worked with for years, you are as close as family. That's the NY Fire Dept for certain

We’ve got to wonder why this was done. Maybe to de-emphasize the event and avoid negative publicity? This will likely have the opposite affect.
