15 Medal of Honor recipients endorse Trump for president

Fifteen recipients of the Medal of Honor have endorsed GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump for president in 2024. 

"We, 15 recipients of the Medal of Honor, having served this great nation in wars, support and endorse Donald J. Trump for President of the United States," the recipients wrote in a letter obtained by Fox News. 

The Medal of Honor is the United States’ highest military award for valor in combat, according to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society website. Recipients go through a significant vetting process that goes up the chain of command and they are ultimately approved and notified by the U.S. president.

These 15 recipients include military members who served overseas in Afghanistan, Vietnam and Iraq and who received their Medal of Honor from either President Johnson, Nixon, Obama, Trump or Biden.

"We believe that American citizenship is a revered privilege," the letter continued. "We believe that a patriotic nation is a strong nation. We believe that the sacrifices by the men and women in our armed forces preserves and protects American freedom."

They went on to say that they "believed in Donald Trump."

They also said that they supported fair elections where only American citizens could vote in elections. 

In September, the Harris-Walz campaign was endorsed by "a bipartisan group of more than 700 national security leaders and former military officials," according to Fox News Digital.
