A total of 15 Congressional Medal of Honor recipients endorsed President Donald Trump for the White House in 2024.
The recipients include individuals who have served in Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam.
“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 statement on Saturday.
“We believe that American citizenship is a revered privilege. 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 continued.
“We believe that the integrity of our institutions is fundamental to the trust placed in them. We believe in the commitment to the United States Constitution and our solemn oaths to protect it. We believe valor is great fortitude when faced with profound adversity,” they added.
“We believe in the devoted pledge of allegiance to the United States of America. We believe that American veterans should be celebrated and supported by our nation,” they wrote. “We believe that our nation must have borders secure from our enemies.”
The endorsement follows an August letter from 50 Republican members of Congress who have served in the Armed Forces and signed a letter condemning Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz for misrepresenting his military service.
The letter was posted to the Trump campaign website and has been shared with several media outlets, RSBN previously reported.
“The Office of the Vice President is a position that requires the trust of the American people and a solemn commitment to duty on behalf of the United States of America. As veterans who have served our nation, we feel compelled to address your egregious misrepresentations and urge you to come clean to the American people,” the letter stated.
The letter added that “there is no honor in lying about the nature of your service. Repeatedly claiming to be a ‘Retired Command Sergeant Major’ when you did not complete the requirements was not honorable. Nor was it honorable to claim to carry weapons ‘in war’ when you had not served in war, and abandoning the men and women under your leadership just as they were getting ready to deploy was certainly not honorable either.”
Walz served 24 years in the Army National Guard. His record came under scrutiny after being named the vice presidential running mate of Vice President Kamala Harris.
