The Patriot of the Year Award is presented by the charitable sister organization of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association (FLEOA), and it recognizes outstanding individuals for their support of law enforcement and their contributions to the safety and security of the nation. The Foundation provides immediate support to the families of fallen officers and those injured in the line of duty.
In his tweet, Tyrus expressed how deeply honored he was to receive the award:
“Truly humbled tonight to receive the 2024 Patriot of the Year award by the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Foundation. The true heroes are the men and women who serve and protect this great nation. I humbly and honorably accepted this great award!”
Tyrus’s recognition for his support of law enforcement comes as a powerful symbol of his transition from wrestling to advocating for causes close to his heart. His journey in the world of wrestling has been marked by accolades, but this new honor highlights his growing role as an influential figure beyond the ring.
