“I have long supported this effort and I’m glad that Congress has finally taken action to make the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund permanent. All of us remember the images of the brave firefighters and first responders in New York City who charged into the burning buildings on September 11th,” Rubio said. “While many lost their lives in selfless acts of bravery, these courageous first responders, who are still alive today, are dealing with significant health problems from that fateful day in September.”
