WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is recognizing three U.S. Army soldiers with the Medal of Honor at the White House on Monday, with two of the commendations being awarded posthumously.

Retired Command Sgt. Maj. Terry P. Richardson will be recognized for actions during the Vietnam War that were credited with saving the lives of 85 other service members.

Staff Sgt. Michael H. Ollis, who was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2013, is being recognized for valor during the combat that resulted in his death.

Master Sgt. Roderick W. Edmonds, who died in 1985, is being recognized for his leadership and resistance as a prisoner of war in Germany during World War II.

1. Trump's a coward who always hides behind people of merit

He's a vampire of honor; he feeds on the deserved merit of others and sucks it all up for himself. His cowardice during the Vietnam draft, his father's insistence that fighting a war for a country is stupid, has done him some lifelong psychic injury that we all have to live through now.

He's a bloodsucker, a leech of virtue.

2. He cheapens everything he touches. So sad.

3. I wonder if the families will enjoy Thanksgiving, Christmas, or anything else as much without company of their children?

Medals are a poor substitute.

4. He'll probably award himself one while he's at it

5. What a disgrace a convicted fraudster handing on the Congressional Medal of Honor

and a someone / person that openly bragged about assaulting woman...........all for his fucking ego.........to deflect his involvement in one Jeffery Epstein and his unilateral crime of attacking a county (Iran/ Venezuela) without notifying the congress or WE the People............ ....

6. At least it isn't Mush Limpballs this time.

7. How very big of him. All for show - he doesn't care one iota about these men or their families.
