Feb. 25 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump awarded the nation's highest military decoration to two American service members during Tuesday night's State of the Union address.
Before a joint session of Congress on the U.S. Capitol, Trump announced Army Chief Warrant Officer 5 Eric Slover and retired Navy Capt. Elmer Royce Williams as recipients of the Medal of Honor.
Slover is on active duty, and received the decoration for his role in January's military operation in which the United States abducted Venezuela leader Nicolas Maduro.
Williams, who served in three wars, was awarded the medal for aerial combat during the Korean War.
