A group of 9/11 responders who became sick by the toxic air at Ground Zero will also be attending tonight’s State of the Union. They are calling on more federal support for treatment programs. On Monday, New York senator and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton visited Ground Zero and addressed the issue.
Sen. Hillary Clinton: “There is a lot of medical work, prescriptions that are needed to keep people going, the medical interventions that are required. I believe this is a moral responsibility of our nation. We owe it to these responders, the residents and others who were sickened because of the attack on our country.”
