162: Jean and Tom O’Connor – 9/11 FBI Line of Duty Deaths and Illnesses

Special Agents Jean and Tom O’Connor review the work performed, and the devastating health-related complications experienced by FBI agents responding to terrorist attack sites at the World Trade Center in New York, The Pentagon in Washington D.C., Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and evidence collection sites on and immediately after 9/11.

Special Agent Tom O’Connor is the President of the FBI Agents Association (FBIAA), and Special Agent Jean O’Connor is a trustee for the FBIAA Scholarship Fund. They are both detailed to the Human Resource Division (HRD) at FBI Headquarters to identify FBI agents, current and retired, who continue to battle illnesses related to 9/11 and to make them aware of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund (VCF).

On behalf of the FBIAA, Tom and Jean O'Connor pledge to ensure that these agents and their families obtain the benefits they need and deserve and to honor the 9/11 FBI Line of Duty Deaths of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Retired agents can learn more about VCF registration guidelines at the HRD hotline 202-324-3333.
