President Joe Biden will award the Medal of Honor to military recipients who displayed heroism and self-sacrifice in combat and the Medal of Valor to first responders who put their own lives at risk to save others.

This year's recipients included the officers who responded to a school shooter who killed six people on March 27, 2023, in Nashville, Tennessee.

President Joe Biden awarded the Medal of Valor to eight public safety officers Friday at the White House, honoring them with the nation's highest award for bravery demonstrated by civilian officers.
