NEW YORK (PIX11)—As 50 carefully selected families prepare to join President Barack Obama for a ceremony at the World Trade Center site Thursday, one of the invited 9/11 families have decided to pass on the Commander-in-chief’s visit.
Although many consider it to be a once in a lifetime invitation, the Vigiano family of Deer Park, Long Island have respectfully declined.
“If this form letter was the invitation, it was kinda lame,” John Vigiano told PIX 11 News when describing the email invitation sent to him from the White House.
Jan and John Vigiano received the email invite Tuesday and admitted that they nearly deleted it, thinking it was spam.

What rubbed the Vigiano’s the wrong way was not what the email said, but how it was addressed.
“It says ‘Dear 9-11 family member,’ - no names” “ John Vigiano said, reading the invite aloud to PIX 11 cameras. “I don’t know if its disrespectful, but it doesn’t work for me.”
The Vigianos lost both their sons on September 11, 2001. John Vigiano Jr. was 36, and a FDNY firefighter, while their youngest Joe Vigiano was an emergency services detective with the NYPD.
“There is no closure,” a sobbing John Vigiano said. “There is none.”

I rest my case...for a minute....
Okay, I didn’t last a minute. I just heard somee R senator being asked why the Seals and not some other elite force. His answer was that they are QUOTE, “INTERCHANGEABLE.” OMG!!!
Why the SEALS? Because it was an unusually dangerous mission done virtually BLIND. The Pakis did not know. The chances of one or all being killed was very high. obama dislikes the Seals since they shot one of his pet pirates a year ago. He has a personal “thing” against the Seals.
THAT’S WHY!
Thanks for posting this. Hadn't heard it before. Yes, it's disrespectful, rude and a slap in the face. There's not a day that passes that zero doesn't continue to prove what a socially inept low class ... never mind.
