Hogg should get it — or no one.
Ask Obama ,I bet he has a box or 2 left
No deal.
I don’t think you can get a medal like that if you’re dead. That’s why Mrs. Adelson got one. She’s great and still alive.
Mr. Trump would probably be agreeable to that. As long as there were safeguards to keep it from turning into an opportunity to chimp out and disrupt the White House.
They have awarded posthumous MOHs.
Didn’t Scalia, Elvis, and Bsbe Ruth also receive the award at the same time? Believe it can be given posthumously.
Oops, Medals of Freedom. But Medals of Honor, as well.
Hogg should get the Order of the Toilet Seat!
This kid is the exemption to the rule...David Hogg signifies the vast majority of Parkland residents.
Guilt over the bullying this poor kid must have endured at the hands of Scrawny David Hogg and the other SJW’s bitches.
I agree, he should get one.
Mark my vote “yes”.
I’d like to know a bit more of what did besides he held open a door...
Before he gets such an honor...
This is being promoted by Kyle Kashuv the pro-gun survivor of the Parkland School shooting. FWIW
How much more is there? He held the door open for others to escape and got shot doing it.
“This is being promoted by Kyle Kashuv the pro-gun survivor of the Parkland School shooting.”
Kyle Kashuv has somewhat changed his mind about all of this, IIRC. He’s not quite the uninformed radical he was.
This kid was incredible. The nobility he showed during the shooting, putting the safety of others before his own life, I agree, he should be remembered and his unselfish sacrifice should be remembered
I don’t recall him ever being an uninformed radical.
You must have missed this:

He later starred in 31 films, drew record-breaking audiences to his shows, sent television ratings soaring, and earned 14 GRAMMY Award nominations.
