Trump calls family of Staff Sgt Ollis to confirm Medal of Honor award

In a heartfelt moment captured on video, President Donald Trump called the family of Staff Sgt. Michael Ollis to personally confirm that the fallen U.S. Army Ranger would receive the Medal of Honor, recognizing his heroism and sacrifice after he died shielding an allied soldier in Afghanistan in 2013.

In the video, Ollis’ father, Robert, was seen taking the call from the president, with his shock written across his face.

"We’re very nervous," Robert can be heard saying on speakerphone.
