This is what America is. He was shot 4 times and completed the mission.

On Jan. 3, Slover flew the lead helicopter in a highly perilous operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, in Caracas. He was shot in by Venezuelan security forces as he attempted to land the Army Chinook helicopter he was flying to deploy U.S. commandos for the mission.

See them Bars on his jacket sleeve, John Wayne would be proud. I never served in the military but jeepers creepers the man is a legend.

Years spent in deployment ,each one represents 6 months.

At least his Chopper didn't crash onroute like most secret missions they take on. Blackhawk, American rescue in iran, bin ladens mission comes to mind.

Indeed a brave man no doubt…what does this have to do with the state of the union?it’s theater to distract from trumps failures and in my view the wrong venue to honor our hero’s,in fact it cheapens their deeds to be used as a distraction for a failing administration.

Give it a rest.

This is about one man's bravery. Shot 4 times while flying helo and he completed his mission. This is America. A true hero.

For the people who purposely and relentlessly misspell names that provoke a response . Its Trumps show and once again proved that the Marxist aren't for Americans, they are for open border foreign national immigration unvetted. The theme was to expose the cultural marxist who support non citizens over citizens. The soldier is promoting pride in its country.

google ai overview:

"Yes, the President largely controls the content and theme of the State of the Union address, using it to set their legislative agenda and highlight key policy goals for the coming year. While the U.S. Constitution (Article II, Section 3) mandates the report, the President decides the focus, tone, and whether to deliver it in person or in writing".

The soldier looks a little like Christopher Reeves, Superman hero. I got that impression even before I googled it.

google ai overview:

"Based on the most recent State of the Union address (February 24, 2026), President Trump honored Army Chief Warrant Officer 5 Eric Slover, who was described by some observers and on social media as having a resemblance to actor Christopher Reeve, famous for his role as Superman"

Nonsense. I certainly hope you're being disingenuous. Trump used the heroism of an individual soldier to bolster his political agenda. As the article notes, such recipients are typically awarded this medal at the White House. Trump used this soldier out of nothing more than self-interest.

Using the hockey team was just moronic. But using the heroism of a soldier for partisan ends just stinks.

Historically, the most MoHs are awarded about 8-12 months after the action, not just a few weeks. So a highly politicised award. Unfortunate for the Chief's bravery and moment to be hijacked by a man, who when given the same opportunity to serve his country, reportedly displayed a yellow streak a mile wide and 6 feet deep.

You must be the thumb down guy. You take something good and put a spin on it, twist and turn things till it fits your narrative.

Shame on you.

What is good about using a soldier's heroism to advance a partisan political agenda?

Shame on the international far left,always quick to thumbs down real American heroism like CW5 Slover's, twisting it into partisan nonsense. Dismissing patriotism is straight out of the Marxist playbook.

If you think exploiting a soldiers heroism is a patriotic act, then you should consider this saying from Samuel Johnson: "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel." He was referring to politicians who exploit patriotism for their own partisan ends.

Trump Theme, is about America Pride, America resolve . God Bless the USA & the GOAT POTUS.

Google ai overview:

"President Trump delivered a, 108-minute speech—the longest in history—focused on patriotism, national resolve, and a "turnaround for the ages" claiming a secure border, a roaring economy, and restored American pride. He highlighted "peace through strength" praised military heroes, and championed a "pro-American" agenda"
