President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump presented the Medal of Freedom, one of the highest civilian awards, to conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh during the State of the Union address.
Limbaugh announced Monday on his radio show, “The Rush Limbaugh Show” — a radio show that he has hosted for 31 years — that he has been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer and has started treatment for it.
“Almost every American family knows the pain when a loved one is diagnosed with a serious illness,” Trump said at the State of the Union address, adding, “Here tonight is a special man, someone beloved by millions of Americans who just received a Stage 4 advanced cancer diagnosis.”
“Rush, in recognition of all that you have done for our Nation, the millions of people a day that you speak to and inspire, and all of the incredible work that you have done for charity, I am proud to announce tonight that you will be receiving our country’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.”
