President Trump has just awarded CW5 Eric Slover the Medal of Honor at the State of the Union for his heroic actions in Operation Absolute Resolve.

Congrats to legendary Navy pilot Royce Williams, who received the Medal of Honor tonight at the State of the Union.

Back in the Korean War, this hero took on a swarm of Soviet MiG fighters in a classified dogfight, downing four of them single-handedly while flying his F9F Panther.

His exploits were kept secret for decades due to Cold War tensions, but now he's finally receiving his well earned recognition.

What an incredible story of heroic bravery and service!
