We Americans who will protect our flag should have a voice in where it is flown. Despite his unimpeachable record of heroism and patriotism, he was disparaged and mocked by his government and the corporate press.

We are honoured to be entrusted with these VCs and GCs from the Lord Ashcroft Medal Collection. These medals, and the individual acts of extraordinary bravery and valour they represent, form a powerful part of the Army's story.

Michael H. Ollis: Killed by a suicide bomber. The NYC native was under direct enemy attack involving improvised explosive devices (IEDs), suicide vests and indirect fire at the base when he ordered his fellow soldiers to move from a building to bunkers for protection. When his team was safe, he reentered the building and checked for casualties before moving toward the enemy force that was penetrating the base.

In the skies over Korea in 1952, Royce was in the dogfight of a lifetime, a legendary dogfight. Flying through blizzard conditions, his squadron was ambushed by seven Soviet fighter planes. Despite being outnumbered, Williams took down four of the jet fighters as his plane was hit more than 260 times and he was severely injured.

Americans are tired of empty, bloated promises from a president focused on lining his own pockets, protecting the Epstein class, and putting American livelihoods last. What we heard tonight from this rudderless, lame-duck president was the same old routine-delusion, division, and distraction.

I can honestly say the expression of appreciation by others was regularly awkward to receive, yet contributed significantly to my well-being. I later learned that receiving appreciation with grace not only eased that comfort level but was also a gift to the other person. Now, in this stage of my life, I am very intentional about expressing my appreciation for those still wearing the badge, and I approach the moment with authenticity and an understanding of how my expression may be received.

Donald Trump envisions his pet project as a sculpture park with 250 life-size, "realistic" statues made of marble, granite, bronze, copper and brass depicting a hodgepodge of historical figures-George Washington, Frederick Douglass, Kobe Bryant and Alex Trebek are all on the list. The president has said that the project will be completed in time for the US's semiquincentennial in July, but this seems increasingly unlikely, especially given that the sculptors who will create the garden's statues have not yet been announced.

Garcia, 26, has also been given the same bravery award and said it was an honour and "a reminder that what I did was something good." "It brings me so much peace that I was told that without me helping her float and carrying her, she wouldn't have survived." He added that finding out Olubunmi-Adewole had not survived was one of the worst moments of his life and he was pleased the younger man had been recognised posthumously.

Fr Paul Murphy was stabbed seven times with a hunting knife while attempting to drive into Renmore Barracks in Galway on the morning of August 15 2024. Fr Murphy, who required surgery for his injuries and lost some feeling in his arms, said he forgave his attacker before hugging him in the courtroom following the trial. His attacker, who was 16 at the time and cannot be identified, was arrested at the scene after being restrained by soldiers.

"These five soldiers, in their separate moments of supreme testing, summoned a degree of courage that stirs wonder and respect and an overpowering pride in all of us," he continued. "Through their spectacular courage, they set themselves apart in a very select company. They represent the contribution of more than half a million young Americans to a world of order and of peace."
