President Obama said Sunday that he was honored to sign a bill that will provide aid to for survivors of September 11 attack and those who get ill while working in the ruins at the World Trade Center. "We will never forget the selfless courage demonstrated by the firefighters, police officers and first responders who risked their lives to save others," Obama stated. Some republicans did not agree with this idea because they were thinking of where they were going to get the money from. The $4.2 billion measure will be paid from fees that some foreign companies that get U.S government contracts. This bill will compensate those who risk their lives for our country.
There was no ceremony for signing the bill; it was signed privately in Hawaii where he stayed with his family.
