Thanks to tireless advocates like Jon Stewart and other heroic 9/11 first responders, the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund will never run out of money
“As I sit here today, I can’t help but think, what an incredible metaphor this room is for the entire process that getting health care and benefits for 9/11 first responders has come to,” Stewart said last month to what few members of congress showed up for the hearing. “Behind me, a filled room of 9/11 first responders, and in front of me, a nearly empty Congress. Sick and dying, they brought themselves down here to speak to no one. Shameful.
Sadly, one of those first responders did not live to see his tireless plight play out like he hoped it would. Stewart spoke to congress alongside Luis Alvarez, a retired New York Police Department bomb squad detective, who passed away just weeks ago from 9/11-related cancer.
