9/11 responder fights for help
The pictures hanging on his wall show the story of a hero. But 16 years after the day that shook our nation to its core, September 11 first responder Marvin Bethea is still fighting to ensure he is treated as one. Bethea has been in an 11-year battle with the Justice Department to be awarded the Public Safety Officers' Benefit. The act provides a disability benefit to those who have been permanently disabled as the direct result of injury sustained in the line of duty that prevents the officer from performing any gainful work.
