Holder spoke Saturday at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington. He paid tribute to the 72 law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty during the 9/11 attacks.
“This work goes on, and it will always remain my highest priority,” Holder said. “Let us take their dream of a world that is better, safer and more just and make it our own.”
The 72 officers were from the New York Police Department, New York City Fire Department, New York City State Department of Taxation and Finance, New York City office of Court Administration, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Secret Service, according to the Justice Department.
and you ask them same law enforcement people and officals and they will tell you that they can't stand that a black man is in the white house and also a blackman heads the atty gen. office. so i look at this articule and see it as it is. [smiling faces]........
By far the best the Atty. Gen. ever! Eric Holder is the best!
"He paid tribute to the 72 law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty during the 9/11 attacks"
The correct word is 'murdered' not 'killed'....get it right CNN.
GOD bless the poor souls that were murdered on that horrible day.
