Why weren’t we all there to help clean up? I feel so ashamed.
Its not like all air travel was shut down.
Obviously, Cruz should have hitchhiked to NY to do a photo op at Ground Zero, because that wouldn’t have been a cynical political ploy or anything like that.
I helped by staying out of the way.
I also stood in line to give blood on 9/11 (along with several million other people who wanted to do something), but tragically there was no one that needed it.
Don’t be ridiculous, people came from all over the country to help.
Some people helped, others stayed in Washingtonian covering up for the Saudis. I have no idea which Cruz was.
Even Hollywood actors helped out:

>For four years, Buscemi served on one of FDNY’s busiest, Engine Co. 55 in Manhattan's Little Italy. He later left the fire service to become a successful actor, writer and director.
>After 9/11/2001... Brother Buscemi returned to FDNY Engine 55.
>On September 12, 2001 and for several days following Brother Steve worked 12-hour shifts alongside other firefighters digging and sifting through the rubble from the World Trade Center looking for survivors.
>Very few photographs and no interviews exist because he declined them. He wasn't there for the publicity.
>In 2003 he also gave a speech at a union rally supporting higher wages for firefighters and to stop fire houses from closing. He got arrested along with other firefighters.
But it was. It took people days to get home. Everyone had to be creative to get rides and help others.
