Republican National Convention: Day 2 Schedule »

Orson Swindle Honoring Medal of Honor at RNC

Moving stuff here…very moving stuff:

Thank you and good evening.

We are privileged to have with us this evening Michael Monsoor’s sister, Sara Monsoor.

Sara, would you please stand and remain standing? We honor your brother, and the sacrifice of you and your family.

We also have the great honor of having among us six Medal of Honor recipients.

Gentlemen, would you please stand and be recognized?

And please remain standing.

In addition, there are two dozen of John McCain’s fellow POWs in the audience.

Would you please stand and be recognized?

And finally, let us recognize the many veterans among us who have served our great nation and sacrificed for us.

Would you please stand?

We owe you all so very much.

We honor your sacrifice. Thank you.
