[From article]
On September 12th, 2001 the first responders, both police and firemen, were heralded as heroes with numerous outpourings of praise. Then Cardinal Edward M. Egan, who was archbishop on the day of the attacks, gave a heartwarming benediction, “On 9/11, and on the days that followed, I became a member of the congregation... No one preached more powerfully than New York’s Finest. The Police Department of the City of New York, from the chief down to the rank-in-file, their sermon was about total sacrifice for others.” So what happened between then and now?
All interviewed believe that Americans have short memories. People forget that twenty-three NYPD officers died on 9/11 and approximately fifty died from injury and illnesses incurred during the rescue and aftermath.
[. . .]
By far the majority of police officers across the nation are true heroes. Every day they put their lives on the line for people regardless of their race, religion, or sex. It appears they are underappreciated and underpaid for what they do. All Americans need to speak out in support of the police.
