Sadly, there were 9 peace officer line-of-duty deaths reported recently - 6 occurred this past week and 3 occurred within the past 2 months and were finally announced.  The 6 recently fallen officers include (pictured from left-right & top-bottom): Detective Biello of Georgia, Illinois State Trooper Hopkins, Deputy Blancarte of Texas, Deputy Cammon of California, Texas State Trooper Sanchez, and Deputy Voyles of Mississippi.  Additionally, 3 officers were reported by New York authorities as line of duty deaths from 9/11-related cancers - NYPD Officer Harris, NYPD Detective Cranston, and Port Authority of NY & NJ Lieutenant Jones.

There were no firefighter line of duty deaths reported in the past week.

Please, pray for all of these fallen patriots and their family and friends in mourning.
