Husband Of 9/11 Hero Returns Award Cos Caitlyn Jenner Received Same Honor by Nova15: 1:19pm On Jan 10, 2016
The husband of Moira Smith, a brave Irish American cop who died while repeatedly running back into the World Trade Tower Two to help those inside on 9/11, has returned her Glamour magazine’s Woman of the Year award after Caitlyn Jenner received the same award earlier this month.
James Smith, also an NYPD officer, said when he heard the “Keeping up with the Kardashians” and “I Am Cait” star had won the award he yanked his wife’s off the shelve and FedExed it back to the magazine.

Moira had been honored with the Glamour magazine award in 2011 posthumously.

In a scathing open letter to Glamour, James wrote “I was shocked and saddened to learn that Glamour has just named Bruce Jenner ‘Woman of the Year.’”

“Was there no woman in America, or the rest of the world, more deserving than this man?” Smith wrote. “At a time when we have women in the armed forces fighting and dying for our country, heroic doctors fighting deadly diseases, women police and firefighters putting their lives on the line for total strangers, brave women overcoming life threatening diseases . . . the list of possibilities goes on . . . is this the best you could do?”

Jenner (66) was presented with the award at Carnegie Hall last week. Among other honorees were Oscar-winner Reese Witherspoon, tennis star Billie Jean King and former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham.

Caitlyn Marie Jenner (nee William Bruce Jenner) is a former US gold Olympian and returned to the limelight appearing on E!'s reality television program “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.” She is currently starring in the reality show “I Am Cait,” which focuses on her gender transition.

A spokesperson for Glamour magazine said “We were proud to honor his wife . . . in 2001, and we stand by our decision to honor Caitlyn Jenner.

“Glamour’s Women of the Year Awards recognize women with a variety of backgrounds and experiences.”

So we still have sane people in the West! Wild wild west.
If Jenner who just 'discovered' herself abi himself to be a woman after spending 3/4 of her life as a man, could get that award, then the award is as worthless as poo poo! In fact poo poo is more valuable, I learnt it's being used to generate electricity and as manure for agriculture. It's as worthless as..... abeg help me!

Good decision.

I wonder what caitlyn did beside gender transition to merit woman of the year award.

Making a mockery of the entire process.
