在周二晚间的国情咨文演讲中，特朗普总统向几名美国军人和一名奥运运动员授予了紫心勋章、国会荣誉勋章、军团功勋勋章和总统自由勋章等奖项。
紫心勋章授予安德鲁·沃尔夫、萨拉·贝克斯托姆家属
去年11月，西弗吉尼亚国民警卫队的空军中士安德鲁·沃尔夫和陆军 Specialist（专业士兵）萨拉·贝克斯托姆在华盛顿特区白宫附近巡逻时遭遇伏击并中弹。
20岁的贝克斯托姆在枪击事件中死亡，24岁的沃尔夫受重伤但幸存下来。本月早些时候，一名与枪击事件有关的阿富汗籍嫌疑人对联邦指控不认罪。
“在上帝的帮助下，安德鲁从死亡边缘挣扎了回来，”总统周二表示。

沃尔夫和贝克斯托姆的家人出席了周二晚间的演讲，并受到总统的表彰。沃尔夫在众议院会议厅获颁紫心勋章，勋章别在他的翻领上。贝克斯托姆的家人则代表她获得了追授的紫心勋章。
“经过四个月的部署后，她自愿延长服役期，军衔即将晋升，”总统谈到贝克斯托姆时说。“她表现出色，大家都为她感到骄傲。但第二天，她在白宫附近巡逻时，被一名来自阿富汗的恐怖分子伏击并头部中弹。她本不该在我们国家，而仅仅因为她身着我们国家的军装，就遭到了枪击。”
美国守门员康纳·赫尔莱伯克获颁自由勋章
特朗普总统周二表示，美国男子曲棍球队守门员康纳·赫尔莱伯克将被授予总统自由勋章，这是美国最高级别的平民荣誉。
正是赫尔莱伯克非凡的守门表现，帮助美国队在周日的冬奥会金牌赛中以2-1击败加拿大，为美国队赢得自1980年“冰上奇迹”队以来的首枚男子曲棍球金牌。

赫尔莱伯克和他的队友在周二早些时候与特朗普总统在白宫会面，之后出席了国情咨文演讲，受到两党议员的热烈掌声。
“我从未见过像康纳·赫尔莱伯克这样出色的守门员，”特朗普总统说。
100岁朝鲜战争老兵因与苏联长期保密空战获颁荣誉勋章
100岁的海军上尉E.罗伊斯·威廉姆斯周二晚间出席并接受了荣誉勋章——这是美国军方授予战斗英勇者的最高荣誉，以表彰他在一场约半个世纪以来一直保密的空战中的英勇表现。
在1952年朝鲜战争期间，威廉姆斯在朝鲜半岛海岸飞行时，与七架苏联战机展开35分钟的缠斗，击落了四架苏联米格-15战斗机。这被认为是美国海军历史上最长的空战之一。
“今晚，100岁的他终于获得了应得的认可。在今晚之前，他就是一位传奇人物，”特朗普总统说。

捕获马杜罗行动中受伤士兵获颁荣誉勋章
首席 Warrant Officer（ Warrant Officer 是美军中一种军衔，常译为“准尉”）埃里克·斯洛弗在导致前总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗被捕的行动中受伤，被授予荣誉勋章。
特朗普总统称，斯洛弗是第一架支奴干直升机的飞行员，该直升机在深夜降落在马杜罗的军事基地。总统说，斯洛弗在准备降落时“腿部和臀部严重受伤”。

“然而，尽管腿部活动对直升机的成功飞行至关重要，但埃里克当时唯一的想法就是运送众多突击队员以抓获并拘留马杜罗，”特朗普总统说。
响应德克萨斯州洪水救援的海岸警卫队军官获颁军团功勋勋章
二等兵斯科特·拉斯坎因在2025年7月德克萨斯州致命洪水中的救援行动而被特朗普总统授予军团功勋勋章，以表彰其“非凡英勇”。那次洪水造成130多人死亡，其中包括几十个在神秘营地（Mystic Camp，女童子军夏令营）的女孩。

特朗普总统称赞拉斯坎营救了11岁的米莉·凯特·麦克利蒙德（营地一名参与者）以及数十人。
“当洪水即将将她卷走时，11岁的米莉·凯特·麦克利蒙德闭上眼睛向上帝祈祷，”特朗普总统说。“她以为自己会死。当海岸警卫队救援游泳员斯科特·拉斯坎从上方的直升机上降落时，她的祈祷得到了回应。没人知道他从哪里来。这是斯科特的首次救援任务。这个年轻人非常勇敢……他总是班里的佼佼者，他不仅救了米莉·凯特，还将164人安全转移。”

Tump bestows Purple Hearts, Medals of Honor at State of the Union. See all the awards.
February 25, 2026 / 12:19 AM EST / CBS News
During his State of the Union address Tuesday night, President Trump honored several U.S. service members and one Olympic athlete with awards that included the Purple Heart, the Congressional Medal of Honor, the Legion of Merit and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Purple Hearts awarded to Andrew Wolfe, family of Sarah Beckstrom
In November of last year, Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe and Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, members of the West Virginia National Guard, were ambushed and shot while on patrol in Washington, D.C., near the White House.
Beckstrom, 20, died in the shooting, while Wolfe, 24, was critically injured, but survived. An Afghan national arrested in connection with the shooting pleaded not guilty earlier this month to federal charges.
“With God’s help, Andrew has battled back from the edge of death,” the president said Tuesday.

Wolfe and Beckstrom’s families were in attendance for the address Tuesday night and were recognized by the president. Wolfe was awarded the Purple Heart in the House Chamber, which was pinned to his lapel. Beckstrom’s family was awarded a posthumous Purple Heart on their daughter’s behalf.
“After a four-month deployment, she voluntarily extended her service and her rank was going to be lifted,” the president said of Beckstrom. “She was doing so well, they were so proud of her. But the very next day, she was on patrol near the White House when she was ambushed and shot in the head by a terrorist monster from Afghanistan. Shouldn’t have been in our country. And all because she wore the uniform of our nation, she was shot.”
U.S. goalie Connor Hellebuyck to receive Medal of Freedom
Connor Hellebuyck, goalie for the U.S. men’s hockey team, will be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, Mr. Trump said Tuesday.
It was Hellebuyck’s extraordinary goalkeeping that helped the U.S. defeat Canada 2-1 in the gold-medal game of the Winter Olympics on Sunday and gave the U.S. its first men’s hockey gold since the 1980 “Miracle on Ice” team.

Hellebuyck and his teammates met with Mr. Trump at the White House earlier Tuesday before attending the State of the Union, where they received a roaring ovation from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.
“I’ve never seen a goalie play as well as Connor Hellebuyck,” Mr. Trump said.
100-year-old Korean War vet awarded Medal of Honor for long-secret aerial battle with Soviets
Navy Capt. E. Royce Williams, age 100, was in attendance Tuesday night to receive the Medal of Honor— the U.S. military’s highest honor for valor in combat — for his heroics during an aerial confrontation that remained secret for about a half-century.

During the Korean War in 1952, Williams shot down four Soviet MiG-15 jets during a 35-minute dogfight with seven Soviet jets while flying off the coast of the Korean Peninsula. It’s considered one of the longest aerial engagements in U.S. Navy history.
“Tonight, at 100 years old, this brave Navy captain is finally getting the recognition he deserves. He was a legend long before this evening,” Mr. Trump said.
Williams received a several-minute standing ovation while first lady Melania Trump presented Williams with the award.
Soldier wounded in capture of Maduro awarded Medal of Honor
Chief Warrant Officer Eric Slover, who was wounded during the operation in Venezuela that resulted in the capture of former President Nicolás Maduro, was presented with the Medal of Honor.
Mr. Trump said Slover was the pilot in the first Chinook helicopter that descended on Maduro’s military compound in the middle of the night. The president said Slover was “hit very badly in the leg and hip” while preparing to land.

“Yet, despite the fact that the use of his legs was vital to successful helicopter flight, to deliver the many commandos who would capture and detain Maduro was the only thing Eric was thinking about,” Mr. Trump said.
Coast Guard officer who responded to Texas flooding receives Legion of Merit
Petty Officer 2nd Class Scott Ruskan was awarded the Legion of Merit “for extraordinary heroism” by Mr. Trump for his rescue efforts during the deadly Texas floods in July 2025, which claimed the lives of more than 130 people, including several dozen at Camp Mystic, a summer camp for girls.

Ruskan was credited by Mr. Trump for rescuing 11-year-old Milly Cate McClymond, one of the camp’s attendees, and dozens of others.
“As the waters threatened to sweep her away, 11-year-old Millie Cate McClymond closed her eyes and prayed to God,” Mr. Trump said. “She thought she was going to die. Those prayers were answered when Coast Guard rescue swimmer Scott Ruskan descended from a helicopter above. Nobody knew where he came from. It was Scott’s first ever rescue mission. Young guy, very brave…always top in his class, and he lifted not just Millie Cate, but 164 others to safety.”
