It's kind of a tough situation though, it's not as if the first responders are being specifically excluded, it's that the ceremony is limited only to family of the victims. Phrase it like that and the outrage diminishes doesn't it? Obviously the people who responded and survived deserve recognition, but there's a need to draw a line at some point, and I think keeping it limited to the much smaller contingent of family only makes sense.
