More than a dozen Medal of Honor recipients endorse former president
More than a dozen Medal of Honor recipients have endorsed former President Donald Trump in his 2024 presidential run. These veterans, decorated for their bravery in conflicts such as Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam, issued a joint statement reaffirming their commitment to core values like patriotism, national strength, and respect for the Constitution.
In their statement, they highlighted their commitment to preserving American freedom and protecting the nation’s borders. They also emphasized the importance of maintaining the integrity of institutions to preserve public trust and confidence. The veterans stressed the relevance of protecting the borders and ensuring that all citizens can participate in free and fair elections, a central theme in the Trump campaign.
Additionally, the recipients criticized any attempt to overreact to or invent military service, stating that “fabricating military service is beneath the dignity of a veteran and demeaning to those who have served honorably in the Armed Forces.” This appears to be an indirect attack on Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who has faced accusations of “stolen valor” for his service in the Minnesota National Guard.
