Posted on 01/09/2005 10:23:26 AM PST by laura0826

1-09-05 the sickness that the rescue and volunteers workers are suffering from and that there is no help for them...they got sick 3 years to late...all the money and help that was given out 3 years ago to help all the families is done. these guys are dying and seems like no one cares and they are forgotten. how dare senator clinton take credit for all she has done when these men are left out to dry, no help ,nothing.....something needs to be done!!!!!!the public needs to know about this and i will not shut my mouth...to many of our hero's are now suffering and they are victims to and everyone has forgotten..out of sight out of mind???i don't think so...

Laura, is this something you have personal knowledge about?

You may have a valid viewpoint, but it is hard to tell, as we get many posts on this site by "trolls".

Somehow, I don't think you are one of them.

If you don't respond with more info, your post will most likely be pulled, and the subject seems to important to you to allow that.

Welcome to Free Republic. Throughout the history of the world, those who accomplish a mission are most often overlooked by those who do little, as time moves on. That's life.

Ask a WWII vet, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War I .........

If that's true, then going off like a loon isn't going to help them at all. Slow down, use correct grammar and punctuation. Write like you have some sense, like you know what you're talking about and I bet people will listen and maybe even take a stand with you. Take care. Don't let your emotions get control of you again. (you sound very emotional ;o)

Lots of respiratory problems, but I don't know about increased mortality rates.

No doubt the rescue personnel have developed some health problems, but my take is that if they were truly dying like files, Hillary and Chuckie would be beating the Administration over the head with it 24/7.

Very Good Point. My dad is a vietnam vet and retired marine. He appreciated what people were doing for the forward deployed marines and sailors after 9-11. However, He was saddened b.c he had mades the same sacrifies for twenty years before the cold war and noonne cared.

I knew that the military is a sacrifice. However it is a sacrifice that I am willing to make just has he was. A true Hero is one that goes and does his job with no fanfare day after day.

I am not disputing that, just like Agent Orange, Gulf War Syndrome, etc. They probably developed something from working around all the dust but I have to add a caveat that there are some fakers out there

I have to look at it like this. I pretty much ask the poster for proof...got none.

I know some early phase workers who have seen pulminary problems develop. I had a dry cough for almost four months. One of these guys is a NC cop (now retired at the age of 55). I've known him since before and through. He is not a faker or a shirker. I'm sure though that some will try to get something for nothing.

I seem to remember hearing something, recently, about problems associated with inhalation of dust from the site. Can't remember where I heard about it. I also heard that they used asbestos up to a certain point in the building of the World Trade Center. They were in the middle of building it when the use of asbestos was out-lawed. Could this be sickness associated with asbestos inhalation? Maybe somebody else on this thread remembers hearing any of this?

laura0826...if you were able to figure out how to repond to MikeinIraq, then you can figure out how to respond on the forum. Where you clicked the link that says "Private Reply", just before that is a link that says "Post Reply". If you click that link, you will get a page where you can respond to the person's comment. DO NOT click the "Post" link at the top of the thread...that will post another thread and will confuse you and others even more!

My cousin is a Newark fireman. On 911 he was one of many volunteers who went to NYC. For the next six months he would be digging in the rubble at Ground Zero since those were his brothers who had fouhgt and died that day.

A search of "911 Asbestos Exposure" brings up a good many sites, mostly linked to Mesothelioma sites and you know that the Trial Lawyers won't let this rest!!!

I do clearly recall several immediate post 9/11 warnings being issued by health authorities to the rescue workers to use proper breathing protection at ground zero and to work shorter shifts - which most refused to do.

Thus some of this was self inflected based on their good intentions to recover their associates bodies at ground zero.

Note: I am speaking as the father of a 9/11 victim that survived, but did have lung problems for several weeks just from being at ground zero for several hours and inhaling all that gunk

Nobody knows for sure what the "soup" of stuff was. There's nasty stuff in lighting, in shatter proof window, in computers, plastics, etc. etc. etc. All of this material was burned together and no doubt re-combined in some hideous fashion.

It is one of many sites that would like honest answers to the unanswered questions surrounding 9.11.01.

Googling "911 rescue workers dying" brought up thousands of results...ReOpen911 was just the first, so it was linked.

Cheers.
