They were the first ones on the scene when the World Trade Center towers fell on September 11, 2001, but ten years later, the first responders are being told that they will not be invited to take part in this year’s tenth anniversary ceremony at Ground Zero.
The city announced earlier this week that due to security and space issues, there would be no room for the first responders. Instead, they’ll be invited to a private ceremony on a different date.
Retired NYPD officer Anthony Flammia told FOX News, “I’m absolutely disgusted.”
He said the exclusion was “a total disrespect to the responders … it’s very easy for them to make the space for us.”
