Trump praises the crew of Artemis II with the Congressional Space Medal of Honor

President Trump awards the Congressional Space Medal of Honor to the Crew of Artemis II. Today we're proudly awarding the Congressional Space Medal of Honor to the remarkable crew of Artemis 2 bestowed on astronauts who have distinguished themselves with exceptional service to the nation and all of mankind. Today we add four new names to this elite roster of fearless explorers. Artemis 2 was led by a Navy veteran, a pilot, a father, and a great patriot commander Reed Weisman, pilot Victor Glover, mission specialist Christina Cook, mission specialist Jeremy Hansen. In the daring deeds of these heroes, we're reminded that for America, no aim is too high, no journey is too far, no challenge is too tough. In this country, we're limited only by the size of our aspirations and the scale of our dreams. We have the American dream, and the American dream is back. We wear these four medals, and we are going to wear them with pride. But please know, it is not pride for ourselves that we feel, and I truly mean that. It is pride for the grit that our families had when we left this planet. It is pride for this NASA team that sent us on this mission. And it is pride for the international community that stood alongside us, got this vehicle ready, operated it, and cheered us on. So, thank you for bestowing this honor on us.
