Astonishing courage is what defines true heroes in America.

In a heartfelt moment this week, President Donald Trump personally called the family of Army Staff Sgt. Michael Ollis, delivering the uplifting news that he will be posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his extraordinary bravery during combat in Afghanistan.

Staff Sgt. Ollis, who tragically lost his life in 2013 at the age of 24, made the ultimate sacrifice by shielding a wounded Polish officer from a suicide bomber. His remarkable act of valor not only saved lives but solidified his place in the annals of American military history.


The announcement comes after years of advocacy by the Ollis family and support from local leaders, including Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), who praised Ollis for embodying the best of American values: courage, selflessness, and dedication to duty.

During the emotional call, President Trump expressed deep respect for Ollis's bravery, and the family conveyed their overwhelming gratitude for the recognition. The President's invitation for the family to attend the ceremony at the White House was met with joyous cheers, further underscoring the bond between the Commander-in-Chief and our nation’s heroes.

The Ollis family expressed their heartfelt appreciation for Trump’s commitment to honoring their son, emphasizing how recognition of his actions helps keep his legacy alive. As they prepare for this momentous occasion, they echo sentiments felt across the nation: Ollis's heroism serves as an enduring example of what it means to serve and sacrifice for the greater good.

In recognition of ongoing service and valor, the military community and fellow Americans stand united in honoring Staff Sgt. Michael Ollis with the prestigious Medal of Honor, ensuring that his incredible legacy will shine brightly in the history of our great nation.

This tribute is not just about a single soldier; it reflects the enduring spirit of bravery that is synonymous with American valor. As we honor those like Ollis, we are reminded of the incredible sacrifices made daily by our servicemen and women, and we’re grateful for a leader who recognizes and amplifies these acts of gallantry.

President Trump’s steadfast dedication to our military and its heroes not only inspires pride among veterans and their families but also fortifies the core values upon which America stands.
