9/11 first responders outraged over exclusion of cancer from Zadroga health act

They sacrificed their bodies - and in some cases, their lives - for their noble work at Ground Zero, and now they and their loved ones feel abandoned.

Scores of first responders believe they contracted cancer due to the time they spent at the toxic World Trade Center site and are outraged the disease is being excluded from the new James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act.

"Every time we bury a New York City firefighter: Cancer. Cancer. Cancer," said retired Firefighter Kenneth Specht, who is battling thyroid cancer.

"How can that not be included? It's absolutely unacceptable."

it's the same with the soldiers; sacrifice them for a pointless conflict, give them a speech and a medal then f**k them and bury them in a ditch
