Emily Compagno and Kennedy honored with prestigious award recognizing courage and service
Both Fox News personalities Emily Compagno and Kennedy shared together a powerful career moment — one that highlights not just her work in media, but her deep connection to those who serve on the front lines.
In a recent post, Compagno revealed that she received the Courage in Journalism Award from the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, standing alongside her close friend Lisa Kennedy Montgomery.
“What an incredible honor to receive the Courage in Journalism Award… alongside my best friend Kennedy!” she wrote, marking the moment with visible pride and gratitude.
The recognition, presented by an organization representing federal law enforcement officers, carries a meaning that goes far beyond media achievement.
Honoring those who protect and serve
Compagno made it clear that the award was not just about her — but about the people it represents.
“I am deeply privileged to share such an esteemed award… given by those heroes who inspire and protect us day in and day out,” she wrote. “We will never stop serving as a voice for these unfailingly courageous and steadfast federal servicemembers! They are the best of us.”
The award is tied closely to the work of the FLEOA Foundation, which provides immediate support to families of federal officers facing tragedy. From emergency financial assistance to long-term support, the organization has delivered millions in aid and continues to stand as a first responder for those in need.
The moment, captured in New York City, showed Compagno and Kennedy standing side by side — not just as colleagues, but as close friends sharing a meaningful milestone together.
