Thank you for your email. Our Nation owes the brave men and women who defend our country a debt of gratitude. Yesterday, I was proud to award posthumously the Medal of Honor to Technical Sergeant John A. Chapman, United States Air Force, for his conspicuous gallantry in making the ultimate sacrifice for his country. On March 4, 2002, during a helicopter insertion on Takur Ghar mountain in Afghanistan, Sergeant Chapman’s aircraft came under heavy enemy fire and was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade. When one of his teammates was ejected from the helicopter before it crash landed in the valley below, Sergeant Chapman selflessly volunteered to return to the snow-capped mountain, into the heart of a known enemy stronghold, in an attempt to rescue his brother in arms. In doing so, he was mortally wounded by enemy gunfire, ultimately laying down his life to save his teammates and defend his country. Sergeant Chapman’s heroic actions, at the cost of his life, are credited with saving the lives of his teammates. I encourage you to watch the ceremony from yesterday in the East Room of the White House honoring the valor and life of this brave American airman. Sincerely, https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/POTD-August-23-2018-1200x800.jpg
