Ground Zero 10th Anniversary - missing some guests?

This is disgusting, disrespectful, appalling, and SAD. I see absolutely NO valid excuse for this.

Due to a "LACK OF ROOM," NYC Policemen and Firefighters are not invited to the 10th anniversary of 9/11 at Ground Zero.They weren't invited that day in 2001 either. They just showed up and did their jobs.

But the politicians are invited. Because they do so much for our country.
