The Tunnel to Towers Foundation proudly sponsored and attended the FOX Nation sixth annual Patriot Awards on Thursday, December 5th at the Tilles Center for Performing Arts in Brookville, New York. Hosted by Long Island native and Fox News personality Sean Hannity, the Patriot Awards recognized and honored America’s patriots, composed of first responders, military veterans, and everyday heroes who inspire us each day.
This year, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation presented the first-ever T2T Stephen Siller Back the Blue Award to Stephanie Diller, the wife of fallen first responder NYPD Detective Jonathan Diller.
On March 25, 2024, Detective Diller was shot and killed during a routine traffic stop, leaving behind his wife and one-year-old son. Diller’s posthumous promotion to detective was announced at his funeral service along with his new badge number, 110, which is a nod to his son’s birthday.
Stephen Siller, son of FDNY Firefighter Stephen Siller, presented Stephanie with the award.
Along with the T2T Stephen Siller Back the Blue Award, other award categories presented were “Young Patriot,” “Salute to Service,” “Fox Weather Award for Heroism,” “Service to Veterans,” “Culture Warrior,” “Bravery,” “Courage” and “Unsung Heroes.”
An encore presentation of the sixth annual FOX Nation Patriot Awards will air on FNC on Sunday, December 8 at 10 p.m. ET.
