Transcript

Hi, I have the President calling for you. Oh. Their son passed away at 23 shielding a soldier from a suicide bomber in Afghanistan. Robert and Linda? Hi Mr. President, how are you? Well, how are you both okay? We're very nervous. I know, you should be, because your son is going to get the highest honor that you can have. There's no higher honor than the Congressional Medal of Honor. Michael is looking down at you right now and he's saying, well, my mom and dad are handling this pretty well. Oh, I hope so. Thank you so much, Mr. President. You have no idea the happiness we have.
