FROM FOX NEWS: First lady Melania Trump accepted the prestigious “Patriot of the Year” award at the seventh annual Fox Nation Patriot Awards in Brookville, New York, on Thursday night.
The event honors the nation’s unsung heroes and ordinary people achieving extraordinary goals. Now serving her second term as first lady, Melania Trump has expanded her international advocacy for children.
The first lady received the honor one year after her husband, then President-elect Donald Trump, was presented with the honorary award following his 2024 election victory.
In October, Melania Trump said her ongoing talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin contributed to the reunification of eight Ukrainian children with their families. Russia continues to face accusations of abducting thousands of children during the war.
The First Lady penned the “peace letter” in August, and it was hand-delivered to Putin during a summit in Alaska.
“I applaud American dreamers and innovators who embrace originality,” mrs. Trumo said. “Let’s embrace the spirit of ambition. Let’s celebrate everyone who dares to think differently. For it is these courageous Americans who are the heartbeat of our civilization.”
