They\u2019re feeling burned all over again.<\/p>\n

Victims who suffered excruciating, life-changing burns during the 9\/11 terrorist attacks say people have forgotten about the day\u2019s catastrophic devastation \u2014 and are even\u00a0treating them with disrespect.<\/p>\n

Read more \u2018Never giving up\u2019: 25 years later, one lab is still identifying 9\/11 victims<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are people who tell the survivors of 9\/11 that we need to get over it,\u201d said Ken Summers, 76, who suffered third-degree burns at the World Trade Center.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey say, \u2018I know your story.\u2019 People don\u2019t want to hear about it anymore,\u201d Summers, of Long Island,\u00a0told The Post ahead of the 25th anniversary of 9\/11.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are 9\/11\u2019ed out \u2013 they\u2019re done with it. They\u2019ve had enough, and I\u2019ve felt like that for years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Summers, who worked on the 27th floor, was about to mail a check in the lobby of the North Tower at 8:46 a.m, when American Airlines Flight 11 slammed into the building.<\/p>\n

He was engulfed by a massive fireball \u2014\u00a0 hurling him backward onto the sidewalk.<\/p>\n

The blast left him with painful third-degree burns on his hands and arms, and second-degree burns in his face and head.<\/p>\n

The former Empire Blue Cross and Blue Shield analyst has since endured about a dozen grueling skin grafts and surgeries, has suffered from PTSD, and was forced to give up hobbies that once brought him joy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been tough \u2014 I\u2019m always in pain. It\u2019s with me every day,\u201d said Summers, who\u2019s now a grandfather.<\/p>\n

Too many people minimize the terrorist attack and his own gut-wrenching injuries, Summers said.<\/p>\n

An insensitive friend once blurted out, \u201cOh, sh-t \u2013 we\u2019re going to hear this story for the rest of our lives,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Others have dismissed his burns \u2014 which caused charred bubbling skin that destroyed his hair and peeled off in sheets \u2014\u00a0 as worth it for the payout.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt first almost everybody says, \u2018Well, you must have gotten a lot of money,’\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, I\u2019ve got a substantial sum of money, but I\u2019ve also had a substantial amount of pain and recovery. Are you factoring that in?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The glib remarks happen so often that Summers, who said he\u2019s received about one million dollars from the September 11th Victims Compensation Fund, has a prepared \u201ccomeback.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you think I would have liked to have given up piano playing, golfing, tennis and skiing \u2013 things I loved?\u201d asked Summers.<\/p>\n

\u00a0He pointed out he can no longer grip a racquet or club, adding, \u201cI can\u2019t feel things like other people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you think I would have given all that up for money?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Of the roughly 50 people who were severely burned on 9\/11, Summers is one of about half to survive past the first year.<\/p>\n

Lauren Manning, who is also a 9\/11 burn victim,\u00a0told The Post some people are uncomfortable hearing stories about the attacks.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople gravitate towards stories that are easier to hold,\u201d said Manning, a Cantor Fitzgerald senior executive, who suffered debilitating burns on more than 82 percent of her body during the attack.<\/p>\n

Manning \u2014 who was engulfed in a fireball in the lobby of the North Tower \u2014\u00a0 said \u201ctime fades\u201d and \u201cthe immediacy of this horrific mass terror attack appears somehow less\u201d for people.<\/p>\n

But the\u00a0mom of two, who has endured years of surgery and physical therapy, said she hasn\u2019t let it get in the way of her recovery.<\/p>\n

\u201cSurvival is a private struggle. It happens generally out of sight, but it was my own act of defiance. I had one simple goal: I was not going to let the terrorists claim another kill,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Other survivors said it\u2019s common to feel slighted.<\/p>\n

William Rodriguez, a North Tower custodian dubbed a hero for helping first responders rescue people, said fellow survivors feel they\u2019ve been treated with \u201cdisrespect.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSurvivors tell me they\u2019re always dealing with people who tell them to \u2018move on, don\u2019t dwell on it,\u2019\u201d said Rodriguez, who lost 200 friends on 9\/11<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople believe we made off with a lot of compensation money and that\u2019s not true,\u201d Rodriguez said, blasting the false assertions of a big pay day.<\/p>\n

With \u201cextreme PTSD and survivor\u2019s guilt,\u201d Rodriguez found himself destitute in 2005, living in a car under the Pulaski Skyway bridge.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI went from national hero to zero,\u201d he said, noting that he was \u201cvictimized again \u2013 begging for help\u201d to no avail.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSurvivors suffer in silence \u2013 people have to defend themselves. They have to validate their pain because some people don\u2019t get it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

People no longer want to hear about the fallout from 9\/11, said Brian Branco, who\u2019s dealing with lifelong PTSD from the attacks.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople get bored \u2013 they have no interest,\u201d said Branco, who worked for the software company Baseline on the 78th floor of the South Tower, where colleagues died.<\/p>\n

The Lyndhurst, NJ dad said insensitivity surfaced immediately, when a family member challenged his wife three weeks after 9\/11, asking, \u201cWhat are you complaining about? Your husband lived.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cPeople think if you don\u2019t have any physical injury, what\u2019s your problem?\u00a0 But you know what? I left three people behind,\u201d he admitted. \u201cI beat myself up about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The survivors\u2019 comments came as NYPD commissioner Jessica Tisch this week called\u00a0 for \u201cmoral clarity\u201d ahead of the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks \u2014 decrying revisionists who have downplayed the attack or framed it as heroic.<\/p>\n
