9/11 memorial will exclude survivors, first responders on 20th anniversary of terror attack

In a move that’s raising a lot of ire among the public, the National September 11 Memorial & Museum has reportedly significantly downgraded this year’s service, despite 2021 marking the 20th anniversary of the horrific Sept. 11 attacks.

The New York Post has learned that the non-profit is limiting this year’s “reading-of-the-names ceremony” to only family members of deceased Sept. 11 victims. This means that both survivors and first responders — including cops and firefighters — aren’t welcome.

The nonprofit has reportedly claimed that the issue is once again money.

“[T]he National September 11 Memorial & Museum is crying poverty for the second year in a row. This time, it says it can’t afford to mount special exhibitions planned to mark the two-decade milestone,” the Post reported Saturday.

“In 2020, the twin-beam ‘Tribute in Light’ was canceled only to win a last-minute reprieve after soon-to-be-ex Gov. Cuomo pitched in state resources. But no such bailout appears in the offing this time,” the Post added.

The problem is that the facts don’t seem to fit.

“Invited family members can bring as many additional family-member guests as they’d like,” memorial spokeswoman Lee Cochran told the Post.

If the issue is money, and disinviting first responders and survivors would resolve the issue, then wouldn’t allowing family members to bring along an unlimited number of guests exacerbate the issue?

It seems to make no sense.

It doesn't "seem" to make no sense it DOES make no sense and it's terribly disrespectful. Geez.

It does make sense, much like a gag comic or cartoon like MAD Magazine with stupid businesses like "Berts Tune Up Garage and Salad Bar". I have heard rumours that future Anzac (Veterans) Day will include "COVID responders" because of the "COVID War".
