@nbcphiladelphia: As the nation marks the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, a group of Philadelphia police officers who responded to Ground Zero say they are still fighting for assurances that their families will be taken care of if illnesses tied to their service ultimately take their lives. #nbc10philly #911 #september11 #philly

Why would a Philadelphia police officer go to New York City to help rescue who ?? after the second day. It was a crime scene. You need a special permission to get on the pit. I was there 96 days. I don’t remember seeing any other state departments down there.

stephy_broome :

They should get whatever they want our government failed them

hook'emhorns :

Of course they should.

Jeaniegrace63 :

Absolutely . No question!!!!!

Elizabeth Iannacone :

Definitely they should get

JC60 :

Anyone outside of nyc who is exposed to any disease relating to 9/11 and was a first responder construction worker or anyone that worked at ground 0 should get full benefits.

The Sagittarius Final Boss :

Don’t forget who voted against funding 9/11 first responder survivors 🥰🥰

rickierobinson936 :

Tammy Rishell :

yes they should they should get the benefits

sam hess :

Aaronw1994 :

The federal government needs to step up and create a VA type benefits program for first responders like him. He absolutely deserves it.

Ken Reynolds567 :

yes, they are responsible, if not there would have been alot more deaths.

Bexs :

What happened to never forget? This shouldn’t even be a question. Give these hero’s their benefits.

Marie_8713 :

1000% they should get all benefits they went willing to New York to help out … curt needs to give these funding to these cops

trendychic2153 :

Yes, the city should pay and go get the money from NY after the family is taken care of. This process should be simple the families have already dealt with enough.

Red,White &Blonde Podcast🇺🇸 :

Yes they deserve the death benefits. My husband died of Covid in the line of duty Alameda County Sheriff’s Office and after a five year legal battle I was denied. We all deserve benefits!

drea_libra_14 :

This is something that they shouldn’t have to ask for those in charge should be ashamed of themselves

Liz Ruiz :

They should get benefits since they didn’t know the air was toxic not breathe able to the public and they should get pension and insurance since they help in this situation it’s only thing the government can do since it’s was terrorist attack
