President Donald Trump will award the Medal of Honor to three U.S. Army veterans on March 2, the White House said.
The nation’s highest military decoration will be presented posthumously to Master Sgt. Roderick Edmonds, a former prisoner of war during World War II, and an Afghanistan War veteran, Staff Sgt. Michael Ollis. Command Sgt. Maj. Terry P. Richardson, retired, a Vietnam War veteran, will also receive the award, which recognizes service members who demonstrate extraordinary bravery and go beyond the call of duty.
