Jonathan Dunne, host of Freedom’s Disciple on TheBlaze Radio Network, dedicated his show to remembering 9/11 and the real heroes who lost their lives. The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 caused more law enforcement line of duty of deaths than any other single incident in American history.

“I wanted to take some time out and remember the horrific events of 9/11 and salute the real heroes of society,” Dunne wrote in the accompanying post. “I also wanted to remember what Congress did the night of 9/11 and look at how far America has fallen in just fourteen short years. I finish the show the by speaking about the horrific Iran deal and why this is a simple issue of liberty or tyranny.”
Via the Officer Down Memorial Page:
One officer was killed when United Flight 93 crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania as he and other passengers attempted to regain control of the plane from the hijackers. 71 officers were killed when the two World Trade Center buildings collapsed in New York City. Dozens more have passed away in the years following 2001 as the direct result of illnesses contracted while working in the hazardous conditions immediately following the attacks in New York.
We pay tribute to the law enforcement officers, representing 10 different agencies, who died as a direct result of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
