From the Oval Office: President Trump Presents Medals of Sacrifice

It's a real honor to welcome all of you to the White House, the famous Oval Office. And we award the first ever medals of Sacrifice to three heroic law enforcement officers from Palm Beach County, Florida, Corporal Louise Piez, Jr, Deputy Sheriff Ralph Butch Waller, Jr and Deputy Sheriff Ignacio Dan Diaz. I viewed my dad as Superman, Someone my whole life you look up to. He's an amazing guy. And it's horrible that this happened, all three families. But I'm glad that something was done about it. We got represented and everyone in the future will be so. Thank you. Earlier today, Congressman Brian Mast introduced a bill to ensure this new medal will be awarded to any law enforcement officer or first responder who gives his or her life in the line of duty. We'll never forget their legacy, and we will never forget the debt we owe all of these great law enforcement heroes who have given their lives to keep our community safe and make America strong again.
