I love a great story about service and sacrifice. I also love it when a great story has a Montana connection. We've got both with this Newsweek story about an 81 year old military veteran who basically said- "send me"- when it comes to our nation's coronavirus response effort.

"Montana State University alumni are playing an important role in the emergency response to the novel coronavirus pandemic, aiding in the construction of field hospitals in New York, where the number of COVID-19 patients is straining the medical system."

President Trump will posthumously award the Medal of Honor to Staff Sergeant Travis Atkins, a Montana native, at 2PM Mountain time. Click below to watch the event live from the White House. Once the event is complete, the video should also remain for later viewing.
