9-11 anniversary rumor, need info.

[Vater Araignee]

I'm having a brain fart and can't find confirmation or denial but the rumor is...

Out of all of the 9-11 first responders the only ones who will be allowed at Ground Zero for the tenth anniversary are going to be ones who lost immediate family during the disaster.

I have a lot of thing to say about 9-11 but this, if it turns out to be true will piss me off the most. How does one quantify who is more deserving? It is simple, the people that put their lives at risk to help are more deserving than those who didn't, regardless of who lost who.

Can anyone find some links for me?

OK I found hundreds of articles now, with zero denials I have to assume it to be true.

sucesfull google search

To make matters even worse the only mainstream coverage I can find is from a New York daily news blog.

should the numbers of family members of victims attending be limited even further than I assume they already are so some first responders can go?

All first responders who wish to attend should be allowed... period.
