Trump: Only 30 Extraordinary Men and Women in History Have Received the ‘Congressional Space Medal of Honor,’ Today, We Add Four New Names

TRANSCRIPT:

TRUMP: “The Congressional Space Medal of Honor, that’s exactly what it says. This is a very rare thing. It’s for courageous people, brilliant people, bestowed on astronauts who have distinguished themselves with exceptional service to the nation and all of mankind. Only 30 extraordinary men and women, a long period of time too, in the history of our country have received this extremely rare and distinguished honor. Real legends like Neil Armstrong, John Glenn, Alan Shepard, and the immortal heroes of Apollo 1. Today we add four new names to this elite roster of fearless explorers. It’s really what they are when you think of it, fearless explorers.”
