9/11 Widower Returns Wife’s ‘Woman of the Year’ Award Because of Caitlyn Jenner

The NY Post is reporting that the husband of an NYPD cop who died on Sept. 11, 2001 is returning her "Glamour Woman of the Year" award after the magazine recently gave the same honor to Caitlyn Jenner.

38 year-old Moira Smith died that tragic day after rushing into the South Tower of the World Trade Center. She was posthumously awarded Woman of the Year in 2001 by Glamour Magazine.

Moira's husband, James Smith - who is also a police officer - told the Post he took the award off of a wall in his Long Island home and shipped it back to the magazine this week after learning that Jenner had been chosen for the honor for 2015. Smith said in a letter...

I was shocked and saddened to learn that Glamour has just named Bruce Jenner 'Woman of the Year.' I find it insulting to Moira Smith's memory, and the memory of other heroic women who have earned this award. Was there no woman in America, or the rest of the world, more deserving than this man?

Glamour said it stands by its decision.

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.

Jenner was recognized last week with the magazine's Transgender Champion award for her courage in publicly stepping out as a transgender woman.
