Husband of NYPD Officer Killed on 9/11 Returns Glamour Magazine Award

James Smith writes that 2015 selection of Caitlyn Jenner for same honor is a 'slap in the face to the memory' of his late wife.

The same year that Cindi Leive ascended to the position of editor in chief at Glamour magazine, the publication posthumously honored Moira Smith, the only female NYPD officer who died in the 9/11 attacks. Smith was celebrated in 2001 at the magazine’s “Women of the Year” gala alongside Tahmeena Faryal of the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA), Diane Sawyer and others.

But all these years later, Smith’s husband James has decided he no longer wants any part of the Glamour magazine award.
