They don’t get any recognition. And the fact that we are doing our best to bring attention to them and that the president is also part of it makes it extra special. But to highlight them and recognize them, I think it’s just recognizing what really makes the country special and great.”
He continued, “We are the most generous people on this earth. And people give up their time. They give to charities. They do heroic and patriotic things that are inspiring. I think the attention they wouldn’t otherwise receive makes it really special.”
