Trump honors Staten Island native Michael Ollis with Medal of Honor
NY Post
President Trump honored Staten Island native Michael Ollis with a posthumous Medal of Honor for his bravery and sacrifice while serving in Afghanistan more than a decade ago.
“Michael grew up seeing the World Trade Center across the bay — I know Staten Island so well. The people in Staten Island are amazing,” the Queens-born president said in remarks from the White House East Room.
Ollis enlisted in the Army in 2006 after graduating from The Michael J. Petrides School.
On Aug. 28, 2013, while serving at Forward Operating Base Ghazni in Afghanistan, Ollis stepped between a Polish soldier, who was part of NATO forces, and a member of the Taliban wearing an suicide vest.
Ollis bore the brunt of the blast and was pronounced dead just three weeks before his 25th birthday. Witnesses said his actions likely protected more than 40 service members and civilians on the base.
“Bravery is amazing,” Trump said Monday. “Ollis was killed just weeks before his 25th birthday, and nobody was any more brave.”

President Trump warned that the US would strike Iran with a “force that has never been seen before” if the regime continued its retaliatory strikes targeting American bases — as several Middle Eastern cities were struck Sunday morning.
In early January, President Trump warned Iran’s Islamist government that if it killed peaceful civilians protesting the economy’s collapse, “the United States of America will come to their rescue.”
The strikes President Donald Trump launched against Iran Saturday are not just military operations — they are the answer to decades of prayers by Iranians who have suffered under tyranny.
